Has anyone read Outlaw Platoon by Sean Parnell and would you recommend it?

I read it in 2012 while attached to Bravo, 2-87 IN, and yes I recommend it; even more so considering a history with the unit. It captures some experiences and developments of the platoon in difficult place at a trying time.

I just picked that book up! I was inspiring to be a 10th mountain division soldier. I still plan to. I heard it was a good read so I plan on reading it

I have read it and highly recommend it. I have my high school seniors read it at the end of the Hero/Beowulf unit, and they have only had positive responses to it and are glad we read it together.
