I told you not to stop this thread. Now let's go.
I read Matterhorn recently
>dat part where a leech crawls up a mans dick and the doctor has to pierce his urethra with a knife to save his life
>dat part where a man is eaten by a tiger for no good reason
>dat part where the MC decides not to punish the man who killed his best friend because at this point he just wants to keep the unit together
>dat part where the battalion HQ accidentally forgets to send them their food before a bush operation and someone starves to death
>dat part when the lieutenant commands an assault on a hill he himself fortified months earlier before the army voluntarily left that position
>dat part when crippling PTSD
