4.0

A good book that gives great insight into a Marine Recon unit that was "boots on the ground" through the Iraq invasion.

The characters were very real and I was quite emotionally connected with them.

Not to spoil too much but some of the part-time or office-staff officers in the company end up looking like idiot arse-holes. Like in, what I imagine is, the real life situation in combat, too many people have too little skill to make good decisions.

Happily none of the main characters die, which comes off as a bit of a miracle.
