Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go for a helicopter ride holding on to a mountain lion? Probably not, and why would you? Have you ever obeyed the doctor's orders only to be 'volunteered' for a one-way cruise to Viet Nam? The Viet Nam war was terrible, but there were moments of greatness and even humor. In It's Not All Bad: A Lighter Look at Viet Nam, George Elrod shares his often-humorous experiences as a young man drafted into the military. He reveals moments of heroic humor, irony, and satire while revealing a side of the war that many overlook but is necessary for the healing process. Readers will laugh their way along as George Elrod takes them step-by-step through his tour of duty in It's Not All Bad. Visit California, Washington, Germany, and Viet Nam, from boot camp to battle zone; each has its own funny moments compliments of the United States Army. It's Not All Bad skips the blood and guts of most war chronicles as George chooses to look at the lighter side of life, even in a war zone.
