Jake Liddell has
been sent home to recover from his wounds. And he has
come home as a hero. He is probably going to be
presented the Silver Star. Jake comes from a tradition
of military heroes so it makes sense that he is now also
considered a hero. His grandfather is a retired general
and has lined up lots of events to honor Jake. But Jake
cannot shake the horrors of war. Nor can he shake his
doubts about the war. The forever war that has no
end. Thinking about all his training in JROTC and
the promises of the recruiter just make him angrier. All
the promises that lure boys into the military with hefty
signing bonuses and thoughts of college after service.
