I read Slaughterhouse 5 on a deployment to the middle east. (checked it out from the base library)

I am no longer in the military.

Re: Kurt Vonnegut -
"On another occasion he explained that his goal in writing novels was to "catch people before they became Senators and Presidents" and "poison their minds with humanity. Encourage them to make a better world"
