Summary of Nicholas Irving & Gary Brozek's The Reaper
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was with Charlie Company, First Platoon, when I was deployed to Kandahar in 2009. I was prepared for the responsibility that came with leadership, but I wasn’t always the most responsible kid. #2 I was excited and nervous to be deployed, but I was also disappointed and frustrated that I would be away from my wife for just a few months. I was also not the most pleasant guy to be around when I came back from deployment. #3 I liked that the base was walled off from the rest of the country, with its own fence, gates, and concertina wire. It reminded me of the neighborhood I had growing up in Maryland, where everyone showed respect to the American flag and the men and women in uniform. #4 I was excited to be in charge of my own team, but I didn’t want to come across as too authoritarian. I was going to be in charge, but the key word in that sentence was I. I still had to be myself.
