These innocent civilians bear the brunt of the lawlessness of the current age of impunity, where war crimes go unpunished and human rights are abused.

Replacement Marines recounts the Iraq war for an audience that cannot be imagined. For an audience that has watched the last 20 years of America's longest war with patriotism, skepticism, and somewhat indifference. Those who have seen war do not envy the civil pomp of our wartime circumstances as anything but a test of survival.

Colonel Pat Proctor’s long overdue critique of the army’s preparation and outlook in the all-volunteer era focuses on a national security issue that continues to vex in the 21st century: Has the army lost its ability to win strategically by focusing on fighting conventional battles against peer enemies?
