Book Description
"Booby Trap Boys" is a true account of 13 months in the life of a Marine Machine Gunner in Vietnam, and his struggle upon coming home to understand and finally deal with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Unlike many "shoot-em-up" stories from the war, "Booby Trap Boys" focuses mainly on the feelings of combat; fear, joy, sadness, etc. The vignettes, written in memoir form, describe life in the bush with highly vibrant accounts of the combat, the marches, the fatigue, etc., that are all a part of war. "My throat started to dry up. My stomach tightened and I had this out-of-body feeling that I get sometimes in the bush. I shook it off. I looked left then right and was surprised that I could suddenly see the whole company, spread out across the slope. Strangely, we were still in a jagged line, like a snake, moving up the hill. But almost immediately, the scene faded as the hot wind blew and the elephant grass started to obscure us slowly, from east to west. Then I was alone, unable to see Nash or Montoya, who were so close to me that I could hear them grunting and swearing. And so it went. We kept marching up that hill, sometimes able to see each other, sometimes totally engulfed by the grass. Our mission was vague. All we knew is that we had to get to the top of this hill, which was actually part of a series of mountains. I started to hallucinate and my thoughts were of Boston, Massachusetts, Thanksgiving dinners, but mainly water, ice cold water. I shook my head. Montoya was looking at me strangely. He of all of us did not have to be here on this mission or in the bush. His father was a State Senator or Representative in New York. With one phone call, Tony could be in the "rear with gear". But he chose to be a grunt. We thought he was crazy, but also respected him. He dropped back and walked behind me, pushing up on my back. My pack now felt like feather. Then the fire started on the side of the hill. I could see the flames and smoke. We had nowhere to go but up. Montoya had to leave, to get back in line. I gave him a look gratitude and stupidity, since I had no idea what was going to happen next. However, it didn't take long for things to develop

Book Description
In the spring of 1966, while the war in Vietnam was still popular, the US military decided to reactivate the 9th Infantry Division as part of the military build-up. Across the nation, farm boys from the Midwest, surfers from California and city-slickers from Cleveland opened their mail to find greetings from Uncle Sam. Most American soldiers of the Vietnam era trickled into the war zone as individual replacements for men who had become casualties or had rotated home. Charlie Company was different as part of the only division raised, drafted and trained for service. From draft to the battlefields of South Vietnam, this is the unvarnished truth from the fear of death to the chaos of battle, told almost entirely through the recollections of the men themselves. This is their story, the story of young draftees who had done everything that their nation had asked of them and had received so little in return – lost faces of a distant war.

We have NEVER been estrogen deficient! PMS is NOT normal! The estrogen deficiency myth has increased risk the of breast cancer and is causing estrogen dominance, seen as PMS, symptoms of menopause, fibroids, weight gain, infertility and much more. Basic physiology, cancer statistics and fifty years of breast thermography research will prove estrogen therapies are The Booby Trap. Fairytales fed us the story of eternal youth and beauty. We never heard stories of the princesses aging, dealing with wrinkles, gray hair, menstruation, or menopause. Instead of happily ever after we are living in a pink-gilded nightmare. Wake up, Sleeping Beauty, your fairy godmother is the wicked witch and she is winning. A witch sucking the life and beauty out of you. I must warn you, if you bite into this apple, you will fall down the rabbit hole. Many women can't handle it because the truth is ugly and unbelievable. When the clouds have parted, you will see how famous doctors and the alternative medical community, that you have blindly trusted, are The Evil Villain. They supposedly liberated you from the pharmaceutical establishment only to ensnare you in another cage created by plants, oils, herbs and pretty promises. This is the Booby Trap. If you want to find hormonal bliss, and possibly, prevent breast cancer; you need to know how your body works. This basic education will prove estrogen therapies are dangerous. Get the knowledge and power to slay your own dragons, princess!

From Boys to Men

Author: Ted Gideonse
Publisher: Hachette+ORM
ISBN: 078673552X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256

Book Description
More than an anthology of coming out stories, From Boys to Men is a stunning collection of essays about what it is like to be gay and young, to be different and be aware of that difference from the earliest of ages. In these memoirs, coming out is less important than coming of age and coming to the realization that young gay people experience the world in ways quite unlike straight boys. Whether it is a fascination with soap opera, an intense sensitivity to their own difference, or an obsession with a certain part of the male anatomy, gay kids â or kids who would eventually identify as gay â have an indefinable but unmistakable gay sensibility. Sometimes the result is funny, sometimes it is harrowing, and often it is deeply moving. Essays by lauded young writers like Alex Chee (Edinburgh), Aaron Hamburger (Faith for Beginners), Karl Soehnlein (The World of Normal Boys), Trebor Healy (Through It Came Bright Colors), Tom Dolby (The Trouble Boy), David Bahr, and Austin Bunn, are collected along with those by brilliant, newcomers such as Michael McAllister, Jason Tougaw, Viet Dinh, and the wildly popular blogger, Joe.My.God.
