"DAMN THE VALLEY" was a phrase regularly uttered by the men that spent any amount of time in the Arghandab River Valley during the deployment of 2 Fury to Afghanistan in 2009-2010. The valley has claimed bodies from the troops of Alexander the Great, the British Empire, and more recently, the Russian Army. Operating in the valley was like nothing the men could have envisaged, they called it the "meat grinder."

It was a deployment that the media didn't talk about, and the government doesn't acknowledge. Three of the company were KIA, more than a dozen suffered life-changing injuries, and half the company had Purple Hearts-not many modern-day deployments have a 52% casualty rate. At one point, the entire prosthetics ward at Walter Reed was full of the men who patrolled that deadly area of the world.

Since their return, many of the survivors have struggled to move on with their lives, and the unit has been declared at "extraordinary risk" by the Department of Veteran Affairs. No one who entered that region was left unscathed. This book shares the perspective of the men that were on the ground for that deployment during the fighting season of 2010.

Will does a really great job of capturing the realism of being a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne division. I served a couple years ahead of him and I can tell you that this book is very gritty and realistic. There are some portions when he’s in Afghanistan that he describes that I can literally smell things from 20 years ago. It’s a great book so hang on tight.

This books spares few details that may be hard to stomach for some readers, but it is a solid glimpse into what it is we ask our fighters to do on our behalf while highlighting a need for better care down the road. I would highly recommend this book.
