Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The Marine Corps has a tough training period for its officers called the Infantry Officer Course. It is designed to push students past their physical and mental limits. Only the best are allowed to command America’s finest.

#2

I was always right there with my lieutenants, checking on them, and making sure they understood the importance of what good officers do. I was no Boy Scout, but I tried to lead by example.

#3

I was proud of my ability to excel at the minutiae of being an officer, because it showed that I was good at my main job of commanding Marines. The collateral duties of being an officer were what set me apart from the pack.

#4

The culture of the Marine Corps is what attracted Second Lieutenant John McLaughlin to it. He dreamed of becoming a Marine, and when he learned more about the Corps, he realized that he had to contribute as much as the Marines who were serving.

#5

The experience of Ramadi was not a constant of extreme boredom punctuated by episodes of chaotic violence. It was periods of extreme boredom punctuated by episodes of inexplicable chaos. The Marines who had been in combat before were different than the others, and had an intangible grit that commanded respect.

#6

The impact of war is never as bad as it seems. The repetitiveness and the boredom, the chaos and the horror, seem to not exist, but they do. And they are never more real than when you are standing next to the parents of a young Marine who has died.
