When my friends discuss deployments to Iraq, we break them into three separate and unequal parts. The first deployment is when America started in Kuwait and pushed north to Kuwait. "Our deployment," is when I met the majority of friends that I still talk to today. This book refers to, "THE deployment," because it's the one we discuss the least and remember the most. This book won Second Place in The Book Fest Fall 2022. https: //www.thebookfest.com/award_entries/either-peace-or-war/
