Matt is well read and sincere. He has done his research and puts forth some troubling discoveries.
the book seemed to lack much of a conclusive ending, or perhaps I’m too used to the Hollywood “happily ever after”

Not even old enough to drink, Corporal Savannah Cannon is a young enlisted United States Marine deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2010. As a tactical data networking specialist, she is sent away from everyone she knows and attached to a Regimental Combat Team where women are not allowed to repair communications. Her experiences over the next few months shed light on the unique and difficult positions women are placed in when supporting combat roles, while offering a raw look at the painful choices women must sometimes make.

A must-read, and a powerful reminder of the strength and courage deep within us all to trudge through tribulations and find recovery from the pains of trauma. #TheBodyKeepsTheScore
Cannon takes the reader through a vulnerable, personal account of events she endured during her deployment to Afghanistan. Through use of monologues, and the detailing of a broad range of events, it becomes apparent that Cannon's experience of "war" is in many ways one of internal-conflicts and the undeniable disadvantages of a warzone. She shows herself to be a strong, determined, and dedicated Marine who has to navigate through a statistically, male-dominated environment, a war zone, and several mental (and potentially legal) quagmires.
Cannon depicts the internal struggles she faces as events (and lack of sleep) increasingly cause her to question her future and invariable her continued existence. She takes readers on an emotional rollercoaster, allowing us to empathize with the conflicting emotions that war within. As she grapples with fear, guilt, and uncertainty, we witness the raw human experience of trying to reconcile one's dreams with responsibilities and the consequences that follow
As a veteran, and a father of a young girl, this memoir is a difficult journey which filled me a wide range of emotions: comradery, empathy, sadness, fear, anger, worry, hope, love, and compassion.
This is not just a book about war, but a testimony of the human spirit and the capacity to find purpose and meaning beyond the darkest of times. I pray this book finds the attention of many, both male and female alike, and that it may positively impact the lives of others and perhaps. May it be a source of inspiration so that others may not have to suffer in silence and make decisions from a place of fear, but rather from hope.
I praise Savannah for her being vulnerable enough to share this story. May it be an act of catharsis, and bring about continued awareness, peace, and positive purpose.
