After surviving basic and advanced individual training, he is sent to Vietnam as an infantryman. Instead of humping in the boonies with the 101st, however, he is assigned to be a clerk and ends up editing Bronze Star and Purple Heart recommendations and publishing his battalion's newspaper. And at night, he goes back to the office to type letters home to his wife and stories-both amusing and disturbing-that reflect his awakening to the heroism and horror, tedium and terror, and the incompetence and banal cruelty of life in a war zone. 610 10 United States.|bArmy|xMilitary life|vFiction. 610 10 United States.|bArmy|vBiography|vFiction. 610 10 United States.|bArmy.|bEngineer Battalion, 1140th |vBiography|vFiction. 610 17 United States.|bArmy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00533532 611 27 Vietnam War (1961-1975)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01431664 648 7 1961-1975|2fast 650 0 Soldiers|vAnecdotes|vFiction. 650 0 Soldiers|vBiography|vFiction. 650 0 Vietnam War, 1961-1975|vPersonal narratives, American |vFiction. 650 7 FICTION|xWar & Military.|2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Armed Forces|xMilitary life.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01351813 650 7 Soldiers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01125233 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAtherton, Andrew.|tDrafted : The Mostly True Tales of a Rear Echelon Mother Fu**er.|dNew York : Treehouse Publishing Group, ©2013 914 ocn877976141 994 92|bCKE
