My goal is to make this book motivational, inspirational and educational. I try to achieve a mixture of humor, intrigue and a certain amount of suspense in building a word picture in the readers mind, as I reveal the ugliness and the reality of war, along with the suffering and aftermath inside that never leaves a combat soldier after taking the lives of others made in the image and likeness of God Almighty. Killing, maiming and destroying a people we do not know that we have absolutely nothing at all against them personally. Whose job in return is to do the same thing to us. Where our…mehr

My goal is to make this book motivational, inspirational and educational. I try to achieve a mixture of humor, intrigue and a certain amount of suspense in building a word picture in the readers mind, as I reveal the ugliness and the reality of war, along with the suffering and aftermath inside that never leaves a combat soldier after taking the lives of others made in the image and likeness of God Almighty. Killing, maiming and destroying a people we do not know that we have absolutely nothing at all against them personally. Whose job in return is to do the same thing to us. Where our government programs and trains us to become as mad dogs or a pack of hungry wolves chasing down and killing a wounded animal. Then to expect when it's all over we all go home and return to normal.
Autorenporträt
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity... -Dwight D. Eisenhower If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom. -Dwight D. Eisenhower I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America? -Dwight D. Eisenhower (sounds a lot like Trump to me) Only Americans can hurt America. -Dwight D. Eisenhower In the final choice a soldier's pack is not so heavy as a prisoner's chains. -Dwight D. Eisenhower There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs. -Dwight D. Eisenhower When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. -Dwight D. Eisenhower My name is Leith Lyman Cunningham, I was born and raised up on a horse and wagon type farm in Northern Michigan. It was a hilly farm and my father didn't believe in tractors. My father was mostly of a mind if we couldn't raise it, grow it, or hunt and kill it, we didn't need to eat it. We were poor but never really knew it because so was everyone else. We learned early on that hard work wouldn't kill us. Still, as a 17-year-old boy, I was born with a wanderlust. I always wanted to see what was over the hill and around the next curve in the road. Curiosity that killed the cat finally took hold of me and I joined the U.S. Army in 1949. I got caught up in the Korean War, wounded in action, spent the next year in an Army hospital; got married, had two kids and now write books. I hope you enjoy them."
