It comes from a different viewpoint...one chronicling the experience of military life for a naive young man coming from the vast pastoral tall grass prairie of the Flint Hills of Kansas. This young lad from Chase County, the county's first Eagle Scout, skillfully narrates the slow subtle transition of values in his life as a former civilian...to that of a well-trained combat soldier, doing what warriors have been conditioned to endure and do.
