Just Another Soldier Hartley, Jason Christopher

Jason Christopher Hartley, born in Salt Lake City, raised Mormon, joined the National Guard at age 17 and had been a career weekend soldier for 13 years. Then in 2003, his unit was deployed to Iraq, where he spent 11 months in the Sunni Triangle. Rather than resent that his weekend service has suddenly put him in harm's way, he's elated to be doing the real business of soldiering. From K-rations to dead civilians to extreme boredom punctuated by moments of extreme fear, JUST ANOTHER SOLDIER takes the reader into the day-to-day experience of the Iraqi war. In addition to putting a human face on the Iraqi soldier, JUST ANOTHER SOLDIER puts a human face on the country of Iraq; its culture and its people.
