Summary
The Last Deployment is a memoir by Bronson Lemer recounting his experience as a young gay man serving in Iraq during the Don't Ask Don't Tell era. Lemer candidly describes the challenges of concealing his sexual orientation while deployed in a combat zone, working as a construction specialist. The book offers an honest, often humorous perspective on military life, the complexities of wartime service, and the personal struggles of maintaining one's identity under restrictive military policies. It provides insight into both the physical dangers of deployment and the psychological toll of living a double life.
