A Stateside Tour of Duty

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, the story follows Nick Moultrie, a new lieutenant who, by chance, is stationed at Fort Benjamin McCulloch instead of being sent to combat. While he escapes the dangers of war, he navigates the chaos of a dysfunctional military police unit filled with inept leaders and unpredictable crises. The narrative explores the absurdities of military life, as Moultrie confronts the challenges of incompetence and corruption, balancing the monotony of his desk job with the potential for sudden violence.
