Description What's so funny about a bad war? More than you think. The audience becomes the 'replacements' as American combat veteran Blake Boles gives you the lowdown on what it's like to live and fight in Iraq. He covers everything from army communications to miscommunication with the locals, combat operations, politics, relationships and even sleep patterns. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll thank God for flushing toilets. Get there, soldier!
