Yes. The author was apt with humor.Jachike Samuelson wrote: ↑21 Nov 2019, 20:46I like that the book contains elements of humor. It's needed to balance out in such a book that will undoubtedly contain some gruesome scenes. I hope it was tastefully integrated though.Nuel Ukah wrote: ↑21 Nov 2019, 03:26This book is an eye-opener. I began to understand the terrible things veterans suffer from the system they served and sacrificed their lives for. What I like most is the humor the author added. I like the part Zach and Chief played slapsies. I strongly recommend this book to all so that they would learn to honor veterans and military personnels. I'd rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.gali wrote: ↑01 Nov 2019, 00:01 This is a discussion topic for the November 2019 Book of the Month, Deadly Waters: The Vietnam Naval War And Its Aftermath by Randy Miller.

I understand that you were upset by this story. Even though I liked History in general as a subject in school, there are some events that are hard to think about, read about, or hear more about in different contexts. I reviewed the book 'A Police Action' which showed the Vietnam war from a solider's perspective. He called it war; didn't understand how the American government could just call it 'A Police Action'. I've gotten the impression from other sources that America was divided about that war. But how exactly was the Vietnam war different from the Korean War? We were fighting the communists in both wars, weren't we? You don't have to answer that one; it's just a lingering question I have about those two wars.

Not many authors commit to this era so im exited to read more about it.djr6090 wrote: ↑02 Nov 2019, 12:54 I just started to read the book. For anyone interested, it was 44 years ago today that the last US combat forces were withdrawn from South Vietnam. According to the Voice of America, we left 7200 civilians of the Dept of Defense behind as advisers. The fighting continued for more than a year after. I'm glad that writers like Miller commit this era of history so accurately to the body of popular historical fiction.
