"finding jack" by Crocker, Gareth

Finding Jack is about a very deeply depressed man who tried killing himself and failed. then he decided to throw his life away in the vietnam war. he was put in part of a unit called "The Fat Lady" unit. his lieutenant was lieutenant Rogan with point guard Mitchel pilot Peterson infantry man Travis and medic Edgar. they were on a really bad recon mission heading back when suddenly a dog wonders out of no where right in front of them. It was Jack. At first Lieutenant Rogan thought he was a threat so Rogan ordered him to be shot, and Fletcher the main character didn't want him shot so he tried to get in between them. he was shot anyways so Fletcher picked him up and carried him all the way back to the military base. he also punched Rogan in the face and got into a fight with him. he then decided to try and save the dog with an emergency surgery to remove the bullet. he also called Wallace, leader of the k-9 unit and asked for a shipment of supplies. Mitchel, Peterson and Travis and Egar all helped out Fletcher on his side mission to save the dog and Fletcher immediately fell in love with his new best friend Jack. they stuck by each other to the end.
I loved this book because it was full of a lot of valuable info and my insight on the vietnam war has changed. I highly recomend this book to anyone and everyone I know.
