Reads like the political propaganda it is. The cast of characters is predictable.

The point when he refused to talk to his daughter about safe sex and then wanted to be mad when she was pregnant…maddening. And that he never had a conversation with her about the dangers of getting pregnant or staying pregnant. Just absurd.

A little too pro-military and "rah rah America" for my liking. The writing was just ok, but the story was engaging.
