While I'm not usually a fan of the flow-of-consciousness style of writing, I was able to enjoy the narrative of the story through the subjective view of a grunt, who's view of this conflict portrays (rather accurately, judging by the stories that former members of the armed forces have told me) how the average soldier would view their job. It's a certainly grimdark story, fighting over an item not for any particular purpose, but instead just to deny the enemy the satisfaction of having it. Overall, I enjoyed it!
