Military Fiction

[close] Watch and learn

[close] Found in the fires and rubble of internet OSINT, war, and shooting pages is what remains of the twisted counterculture gym bros of the Komandus known as the followers of "Thee Foxhole" This is like a wargame lifting shooting club that strives to be better but barely meets heigh and weight standards for the military because they kept bulking and focused on the right things instead of what right looks like. We stay in our Discord more than we stay on here, but we have a good reads group because we are better than you and we know it.

[close] This Book Club is for active and retired AMMO troops with a shared love of reading. Connect with us as we embark on this literary journey, exclusively crafted for and by the AMMO community. Let's turn the pages of history, fiction, and personal growth together. Reading is a fundamental tool for leadership, especially in roles requiring strategic thinking and effective communication. *I.Y.A.A.Y.A.S.* “If you haven't read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent, because your personal experiences alone aren't broad enough to sustain you.” ~ Jim Mattis, Callsign Chaos.

[close] To truly recognize the military and veteran community is to be informed of the various and complex histories, experiences, and narratives of military culture and veteran knowledge. The MAVRC Book Club, organized by the Military and Veteran Veteran Services at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), will present a series of readings and discussions to better comprehend and interpret the policies and procedures that developed the United States Armed Forces, and make sense of the terrain and bureaucracy that military personnel and veterans navigate daily. Hosting such a book club will cultivate conversations with the purpose of dismantling stereotypes and the romanticism on the meaning of service. Through its diverse readings, the book club aims to highlight the contributions of its veterans, dissect the policies and procedures that have shaped military and veteran life, and to gain a worldly perspective on the conflicts that the United States Armed Forces has engaged in since its formal establishment. All book club meetings are open virtually to the public. Trigger warning: Books selected may deal with themes and topics of war and combat; sexual assault, abuse, harassment, and violence; disabilities, physical and mental health, and trauma; gender and sexual identity; race, culture, and ethnicity; and politics and religion. Politics of the authors of selected readings are not reflective of the Military and Veteran Resource Center. Differing opinions and worldviews should be communicated intellectually with respect and understanding.
