Live by Chance, Love by Choice, Kill by Profession

Live by Chance, Love by Choice, Kill by Profession is the spellbinding story of how a daring boy with a taste for adventure, became a military hero. As a nineteen-year-old warrior flying helicopters and fighting in Vietnam, Sterling Cody found that he liked Army life and the adrenaline rushes that came with war. Combat was gruesome, and Cody adopted a “Kill’em all and let God sort’em out” attitude that he carried with him from Vietnam to the drug wars of South America. After retiring from the Army, his country called him back to active service after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Behind enemy lines in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, Lieutenant Colonel Cody commanded Task Force Martha and captured bridges crossing the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers facilitating the Allies’ capture of Bagdad.

Major General Scott B. Smith (U.S. Army, Retired) said of this book:
“Live by Chance, Love by Choice, Kill by Profession is truly fascinating reading. Especially captivating are the passages that describe some of the terrifying misfortunes attendant to any war…the close calls, the physical wounds, the mental anguish, the deaths of good people. This book is Roy Mark at his very best.”
