    Summary

    It’s just Joe's luck that he ends up reading the entire damned book in one go. The writing is good enough, he thinks, but mostly what keeps him going is he lived it.

    Okay, a lot of it. He didn’t exactly live much, or none at all, of the relentless fucking. The book is from the view of a man who he can hear perfectly despite having not seen in nearly two years; a man who is assuredly not called Palme, nor who got a pass made on him by any sort of Major Summers, nor endlessly pursued a Corporal called Lovegod of all the unoriginal goddamned things.

    Joe has work in five hours carting around morons and good working people, and he did not ask to be turned into some kind of fictional sex fiend made-to-measure for David fucking Webster.

    Summary

    Being a medic, Webster had thought, was one of the best ways to experience the war. All of the action and less of the danger - the Geneva Conventions guaranteed medical neutrality, at least if the Germans were a shred of the respectable people he'd once thought them. He hadn't volunteered for it, but when they'd taken his M-1 and replaced it with a satchel of bandages and morphine, he was more or less relieved.

    Summary

    They wouldn’t know what to do with a girl like Dick in the service if they were handed half a dozen manuals and a map. They ought to have given her a commission on sight; they ought to have given her a rifle and a direct line to Eisenhower and a million dollars. Instead they stuck her with a couple of stripes and a job on a switchboard and Lew. They would make do with that.

    on sergeant winters and technician nixon of the women's army corps.
