His is a unique record of what it was like to be a conscript in the US. Army in the late 1960S.Morton's account also provides a roadmap, to the sociology and culture of the military, especially the class system that divided college graduates from those with less education or economic stature yet did not override a solidarity in the field. He describes his disappointment and discomfort at being "killed" during training ambushes. But he also shows how someone with a master's degree in psychology could adapt to an environment in which the army did the thinking and the soldier the doing. However unintentional, by the end of his journey Morton was no longer a civilian but an officer, adept at army gamesmanship and ready for command. This book offers an informative foray into the training system used during the Vietnam era, and veterans of the Old Army will find their memories kindled.…
