After reading this section of The Forever War what I kept thinking about was how the people who lived in the villages that the American's took over from the Taliban and such were either happy or completely hated them. Dexter seemed to have mixed views where ever he went. Some people would thank him or talk to him freely while others would spit on him or completely avoid him. The whole view I'm seeing from reading this book so far is really sort of confusing me about how people view the war and care about our help.

After reading farther in to my book it seems that Dexter seems to be very intrigued and sort of confused about what he witnesses and goes through. The way he words sentences makes you think whether or not he agrees with whats going on in Iraq/ Afghanistan. It also completely surprises me with how the people act or live there. Still the most shocking thing I've read has been boys running through a mine field because "it would've been too long to go around".

From what I have read so far The Forever War is a fantastic book. It has kept my attention none stop and all the stories he tells are really interesting and make you think about how different things are in that part of the world. How they have no problem with murdering their own kind as long as its following what God has written or done. Their views on things are so different which makes his stories so stimulating.

Book Choice

I'm choosing to read the book The Forever War by Dexter Filkins. It looks like it will be a fun and interesting read. I'm kind of in to the whole war genre so it should be a good choice. Also I have already read one of the other choices that we were given. Yet this book seems very promising.
