Product Description
by Mat Vance (Author)
Whether you've been in combat or have never been in the military, "The Funny Side" is meant for everyone. We typically only hear about heroism and tragic losses during war time, which of course happens, but what about the time between firefights? What about the rest of a person's time in the military? This book is a true story and a chronological adventure from training to being initiated into a unit to deploying to becoming a civilian again. It takes negatives and turns them into positives. If you're a civilian or haven't had an exciting time in the military, this story will show you what it's really like. If you're a combat veteran, it is the authors greatest goal to bring a smile to your face. To try to forget about the bad days and instead honor our brethren by reflecting on those ridiculous moments when we laughed ourselves to tears.
