War is hell…but sometimes it’s also funny as hell.
Combat and Other Shenanigans is Lieutenant Piers Platt’s firsthand account of his year as a cavalry platoon leader in Iraq. Wry, action-packed, and poignant, Combat and Other Shenanigans is the absurd-but-true story of the antics the world’s finest soldiers get up to when no one high-ranking is watching.

Great read many times over
Mr. platt has always had a way with words. And he proved it again with this book.
Mr
It was a good read, made me feel at times like I was in the turret with him, also the futility of the Iraq War comes through without feeling forced. Author reminds me of Dan Gallery and his funny stories about the navy. I wish someone would write something like this about the Vietnam War.
