Book Description
BOHICA: Bend Over! Here It Comes Again Did you like reading "Chicken Soup for the Soul"? If you did, you are in for more insight and zeal for the tapestry of life as you read this remarkable book. Years ago, a Western tourist decided to visit the old monk who sat atop a Tibetan mountain. It took days of hard climbing to reach the summit where he would be permitted to ask one question of the old wise man. Gasping for breath in the thin atmosphere, he asked, "Master, what is the secret of true happiness?" The old man calmly answered as if he had heard the same question a million times. "Avoid becoming too involved in your own life?" BOHICA is this author's musings on an old saying, "Bend over! Here it comes again." Originally it referred to ducking beneath a swinging boom on a sailboat. The author has applied it to the cycle of events that are so common in our busy lives. Using wit and humor, you may well learn things in these pages that are very personal to your own life. Why? Because some of the stories are like mirrors that show us more about who we are as human beings. In BOHICA: Bend Over! Here It Comes Again, you will experience heart touching glimpses into the best and worst moments of life. These stories and reflections will soon cause you to explore what you really believe and why. Let's face it. Some of what we believe is ridiculous, but not until we put it into words or try to explain it to someone else. Your values are at the heart of your identity, so this book will help you discover something about who you really are - often with laughter but sometimes with sentimental tears.For example, there are some profound truths that only seem to emerge from those who have fallen into addiction and despair. Yet, there is some of the most hilarious joy that overflows from the journey out of that emotional prison. Sometimes, you can almost get a hernia from laughing at short, humorous thoughts that are just too close to the truth. Perhaps the ability to laugh at yourself is the most important step toward emotional wholeness and recovery from the traumatic circumstances of life.

Book Description
One of the most celebrated units in the military for more than a century, by 1990, New York City's Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment of the Army National Guard was scarcely fit for duty. Its equipment was derelict, its discipline nonexistent, many of its leaders inept, and its ranks filled with kids barely out of high school who had little intention of serving their country for any longer than it took to get their paycheck, college credit, or job training. Then came the attacks of September 11 and the invasion of Iraq. In The Fighting 69th, Sean Michael Flynn, himself a member of the unit, chronicles the extraordinary transformation of this band of amateur soldiers into a battle-hardened troop at one of the most lethal sites of war.

Book Description
In Soldier Snapshots Jay Mechling explores how American men socially construct their performance of masculinity in everyday life in all-male friendship groups during their service in the military. The evidence Mechling analyzes is a collection of vernacular photographs, “snapshots,” of and by American soldiers, sailors, Marines, and aviators. Since almost all of the snapshots are photographs taken of men by other men, this book offers a unique view into the social construction, performance, and repair of American masculinity. Mechling guides the reader from the snapshots to ideas about the everyday lives of male soldiers to ideas about the lives of men in groups to ideas about American culture. In his introduction Mechling offers his thoughts about how to undertake the interdisciplinary study of American culture; he draws from history, folklore, anthropology, sociology, rhetoric, psychology, gender and sexuality studies, ethnic studies, popular culture studies, and visual studies to reveal the intricacies of how men use their folk practices in an all-male group to manage the paradoxes of their friendship and comradeship under sometimes stressful conditions. Soldier Snapshots begins with a brief history of war photography and establishes the nature of vernacular photography: the snapshot. This is followed by a jargon-free discussion of the key ideas about masculinity and the vernacular practices of men in groups, exploring male friendship, the important role of play in men’s relationships, and the ways “animal buddies” adopted by male friendship groups actually tell us even more about male friendship and issues of trust. In the final section Mechling’s careful analysis reveals how the men employ different folk practices—including rough-and-tumble playfighting, building human pyramids, bathing naked in public, cross-dressing, hazing, and gallows humor—in order to manage their relationships. Regardless of the man’s sexual orientation and sexual identity, the strong heterosexual norm in the military means that the men must find ways to understand and even enact or perform their feelings of bonding while still defining those feelings and acts as heterosexual.
