"Machete Squad is the story of a soldier trying to keep people alive as America's longest war rages all around him. It is the autobiographical story of Brent Dulak, who is burnt out from his two tours in Iraq, as he heads to Afghanistan. He's a U.S. Army medic who was recently promoted to sergeant, in charge of a team of soldiers whose job it will be patch up the wounded at a remote outpost as American forces prepare to turn Kandahar Province over to the Afghan forces. He must look out for the welfare of his men and their patients even as he doubts his own abilities--and at times his sanity."--Provided by publisher. No library descriptions found. |

I also realized I had just read [book:The 'Stan|42081234] by the other two authors listed on the cover. This is a longer variation on that as a U.S. Army medic strings together a series of anecdotes from his tour in Afghanistan.
Like The 'Stan, the artwork strikes me as a gross mismatch. But where Delliquanti's cartoony style in The 'Stan at least had a smooth, finished quality to it, Berg's rough cartoony scrawl here is distractingly ugly, made the characters hard to distinguish, and kept me from connecting with the material.
