good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Ok

Narrator literally worst I’ve ever heard cannot pronounce OFF I CER keeps saying OFFSERS. Annoying. Also a lot of soldiers claiming they won awards but the officer forgot, got shot, political snub yada yada rubbed me the wrong way. Still I’m a sucker for a war memoir so not all bad decent amount of battles recounted but a lot of just summarizing.

stupidest narrator I have ever heard...3rd grade

what I said ..does this idiot think he is
reading to a 3rd grade class?
