This is truly a very sad book when the politicians the leaders and the people that “we the people” have voted into office let down or just give up with what should be common sense and don’t protect the troops that are fighting for us. Here people in Washington are basically helping the enemy because they don’t want to fight a certain way. This book is so frustrating that I had to stop more than once, being a son and nephew of vets and growing up on military bases this was a very difficult book to read but one that I am glad that I did. It is just shameful how we let down so many soldiers.
A very informative book to help readers understand what our military faces in the Middle East.
The first thing about this about Dog Company was the layout of the book. I thought it was great that Roger Hill and Lynn Vincent set the stage with the first three parts of the book. I was confused of about why the authors chose to to separate the different sections into books (there are 5 total in the Dog Company). I would like to see them separated into parts, there are 5 parts of the story that make this a book. For me separating them into "books" makes the story feel more fragmented and not as connected.
Dog Company a riveting book about the soldiers in D company and the many problems of OEF. Including failed leadership, lack of resources, rules of engagement and rules of war, and many other issues faced by our armed forces overseas fighting an unconventional war.. These problems are exactly the foundation that leads to the last 2 books and the trial. Because this book is written by Roger Hill I would have liked to see it written in first person rather than third. By writing it in third person it makes the authors appear to be impartial and unbiased to the events that happen, when in reality that isn't the case. This is not me saying the Captain Hill was wrong in his assessments of the events that happened, but just commenting on the style choice of the book and the impact it as.
