Why People Love Us
The part about his 23-year journey across so many duty stations, from Vietnam to Germany and the Pentagon and still never seeing the sea was ironic. His trust on God’s plan is what makes it naval best military memoir books in Vietnam War era in my view.
What inspired me was how he kept getting sent to places he never planned for—Vietnam, Korea, and even Pentagon work later on. I have never read a biography of a U.S. Navy officer like this one. It’s a totally refreshing and new experience.
I kept thinking about the moment he said he joined the Navy just to avoid Vietnam, only to end up right in it. That part was real and messy. I would have totally panicked. Also, his dedication to accept the role and fulfil the duty makes this U.S. Navy officer memoir more authentic and relatable.
