here's the book Buying it now!

Battleground Pacific: A Marine Rifleman's Combat Odyssey in K/3/5

The book he wrote about his experiences as a Marine rifleman.

I hadn't seen it posted yet so I wanted to get it on a high comment.

Since he was too polite to link it, here's the book.

Old enough, apparently, to have been a combat Marine in the Pacific in WW2. And to write a book about it:

Battleground Pacific: A Marine Rifleman's Combat Odyssey in K/3/5

And also, apparently, not give a damn anymore about anonymity.

[Edit] Previewed a few pages on Amazon. It's a good read!

Battleground Pacific it would seem.

Have you read Battleground Pacific? It's written by Redditor Sterling Mace, covering his recolections of the same battles but as a rifleman rather than as a mortar man. It's a bit more earthy.

Check out this book if you're looking for a real perspective on combat... This guy doesn't pull any punches (and he's done a couple AMAs if you do a little bit of looking)

He did write a book. If he's a troll he's a committed one.

My personal recommendations:
My 30 year war by Onada Hiro:
This book was written by a Japanese lieutenant who refused to believe the war was over, and continued living in the jungles of the Philippines until the 70s.
