“Not Every War Story is Heroic”During the peak of the Afghanistan War, a group of soldiers is dropped by helicopter into the remote mountains outside of Kandahar City. Mismanaged and overlooked by command, the squad must rely on each other to survive. Their mission is to train and advise the Afghan National Police and help rebuild the country of Afghanistan. The Afghan Police station they are assigned to live in is falling apart and disease-ridden. Many of the police officers they are supposed to train are Taliban sleeper agents or the family of Taliban fighters. The ones that aren’t are often addicted to drugs, illiterate, or smuggling child slaves. The squad is led by Slim, a Staff Sergeant in his late twenties who has so many mental issues his insanity is his most dominant personality trait. An alcoholic with a penchant for violent outbursts against both his own soldiers and the Afghans, he is more comfortable at war than at home. Joseph Kassabian is the youngest and most junior fire team leader in the squad. He’s charged with leading a team of soldiers not even old enough to drink. He himself is only 21 years old. As a combat veteran from previous deployments with four years in the Army, he assumes he has seen it all. But he has no idea how bad things can get in war-torn Kandahar. In the birthplace of the Taliban, some men lose their lives, some lose their sanity, and others their humanity. They are The Hooligans.Acclaimed for its humorous, grim, sardonic, yet honest recollection of the Afghanistan war Hooligans of Kandahar is a Jarhead, and The Hurt Locker, meets I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.You’ll love The Hooligans of Kandahar if you like reading:Military memoirsWar storiesAfghanistan war storiesCritical accounts of Afghanistan warCollege or satirical humour

The thing that struck me the most while reading this book was the fact that while more than 25 years and with almost a total change of mission, the Army hasn't changed at all. I served after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but before 9/11, so I was in that odd "in-between" time where we had deployments like Panama and Desert Shield/Storm, and we fought a different enemy as well as being "pre-IED".That being said, the men & women in this book could have been members of my platoon in Saudi Arabia & Iraq for the Gulf war. We all had our quirks, most of us probably wouldn't hang around with the others in civilian life, and we all were totally dysfunctional as human beings, but we all came together to form a combat unit. We found ways to fill the hours of boredom, we fought, we pushed back on our leadership in such similar ways as portrayed in this book that I was immediately taken back to my time deployed.This isn't a story about valor or heroics, this is the story of the daily slog that so many of our men and women deal with every day in our seemingly never-ending wars. This story speaks to the internal challenges they face with sleep deprivation, toxic or inept leadership, poor facilities, limited information and "allies" that would just as soon kill you as help you.If you want to understand what our troops go through, read this. The vast majority of our troops don't serve a deployment that translates into a major motion picture. Most of them suffer through deployments like this.
