DESCRIPTION:
A Grunt's Point of View Kathy Shemeley I am not an avid reader. Rarely do I read a book for enjoyment, however my wife purchased this book, and kept telling me how much I would enjoy it. I started reading it and never wanted to put it down. It gives a glimpse of an Air Force pilot through his years at the Air Force Academy to his tours as a fighter pilot in Vietnam, including his e. "A Tale of Combat and How Warriors Bond" according to Ron Standerfer. I believe our veterans deserve to be remembered for their service to our country. Not just in the here and now, but for generations to come. Ross "Rosie" Detwiler's well written autobiography, "The Great Muckrock and Rosie" accomplishes this in a skillful and memorable way.

Most of America experienced the Vietnam War only in the form that was delivered in the evening news. Fly with the men who gave their all in support their fellow troops on the ground in South Vietnam. Some were adoring wives that waited at home, with little children, for dad to return. They pushed on, mission after mission, completing their assigned tasks for sake of doing what they thought was right. There are plenty of history books and scholars that break the war down into miniature, bite-sized chunks of history, politics, science, and statistics. It is about the fighter pilots who fought that war in the air. Fly with them also as they leave the South and enter North Vietnam and Laos in an effort to dam the flow of supplies arriving through the wide open harbor at Haiphong. Also meet the women in their lives. Some were single, unattached, and looking for the spice in life that a fighter pilot on leave could provide.. The Great Muckrock and Rosie, however, isn’t about accounting for the war. The actual fighting and sacrifices in that far off jungle were borne, as is still true to this day, by a miniscule fraction of the population and their families
