Synopsis Through the experiences of 23 Marines who were the first into Iraq in 2003, and who led the charge to Baghdad, journalist Evan Wright provides a ground-level warrior's view of modern combat. Wright provides portraits of the new American soldiers: distinguished by their many pop culture references--video games, the Internet, hip hop, and porn--and, for some, by their born-again Christianity while, for others, by their interest in alternative religion. Wright also discusses their training along with their use of new technology, weapons, and tactics. Wright's often-vivid reporting brings out the one big reality: war is hell.
