Description
Iraq, Vietnam, Korea or WW II: it makes no difference...they are the apprentices of wars; young grunts who do most of the fighting and dying. Their apprenticeships are short and violent. Survival often depends more upon luck than training or experience. It's an environment where peer pressure creates heroes. Those who survive are often better people for it. They move forward with their lives possessing the unique self-confidence that only combat survival produces.
