Check it out - BD, the former football start turned deployed Guardsman gets wounded in Fallujah, and thus the journey begins.

It's a quick read (a perfect mini-mental health vacation), has some great vignettes about being mili-dude (they have a behavioural specialist on staff to help single guys returning from deployment regain appropriate social skills), and the culture of military medicine (especially surgeons and Wally world idiosyncracies). They even have a physiatrist who pops in and out as BD goes thru rehab!

Even more perfect, the proceeds benefit the Fisher House foundation, which gives DOD patients and their families a place to stay close to the hospital.
