Publisher's summary
Picked up by a larger publisher: as a consequence; the retitled, second, and final edition of the cult hit, Spent Shell Casings.
"Going to war was a finite window to touch the vanquished barbaric world modern reality has so woefully blighted out."
Joining the Marines in 2002, David Rose signed up to go fight ... and to go die. On this grim path, rather than finding a violent death, he would find family, purpose, and a brotherhood amid the misfit world of the war fighter.
No Joy sees David recounting madcap tales of Muay Thai bouts in seedy garages, a bizarre stint as a street cop, being on the other side of the badge, becoming a veteran of the psych ward, and more. It's an irreverently told story that doesn't just tell one man's tale, but speaks to the necessary question: What really draws modern young men to war?

Policing Saigon isn't Platoon or Apocalypse Now, but the story of Loren W. Christensen's experience as a military policeman (MP) in a city of millions at a time when chaos and fear reigned. As a 23-year-old from a small town in Washington State, the author was plunged into a chaotic city of brawling servicemen, prostitutes, racial violence, enemy rockets, riots, and death. It was a place that would give him a unique opportunity to see up close a different side of the Vietnam War and its effect on the human condition.

Brian Castner served three tours of duty in the Middle East, two of them as the commander of an Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit in Iraq. Days and nights he and his team—his brothers—would venture forth in heavily armed convoys from their Forward Operating Base to engage in the nerve-racking yet strangely exhilarating work of either disarming the deadly improvised explosive devices that had been discovered, or picking up the pieces when the alert came too late.

He endured more than forty surgeries, but his right leg still wasn’t healing as he had hoped, so in March 2007, Kapacziewski chose to have it amputated.

Story
They each had their reasons for being a soldier. They each had their illusions. Goodrich came from Harvard. Snake got the tattoo - Death Before Dishonor - before he got the uniform. And Hodges was haunted by the ghosts of family heroes. They were three young men from different worlds plunged into a white-hot, murderous realm of jungle warfare as it was fought by one Marine platoon in the An Hoa Basin, 1969. They had no way of knowing what awaited them. Nothing could have prepared them for the madness to come. And in the heat and horror of battle they took on new identities, took on each other, and were each reborn in fields of fire....

Extremely emotional and insightful piece of work!
Let's just say as both a female and someone who was never in the military, I feel that No Joy is a must read for anyone who has interest in what goes on inside the minds of our military personnel. I'd always suspected a maniacal sex, drugs & rock n roll mindset pulses in the military world. Nine hours later, suspicions have been utterly and passionately confirmed.
I first read this book in paperback under it's original title Spent Shell Casings. When I realized that it was finally available on Audible I was delighted. Having the story read to you adds a new flavor to the stories and really draws you into every experience as though you were there. I read in another review that the narrator flubbed many of the military jargon, but as a civilian you would be none the wiser. I think the narrator did an outstanding job! However, I would love to hear the author narrate the next installment, if we are indeed gifted with a follow-up. This is an extremely emotional piece of work, and it helps define an entire generation of Americans better than perhaps any related book I've ever read. Highly recommend !! Kudos to the author for an outstanding job in both his service to our country and gift to our intellect.

Only a DevilDog© is Squared away
if I had to put it into just one word, I guess that would be "whoduhthunk"
the ways in which a Marines life is set in forward motion, throughout their earthly existence, always observant of everything that takes place in their AO, follows them into civilian life, with motivation and honor. It is without any doubt, true that, "Once a Marine, always a Marine"

Warrior Culture
Good look at so-called warrior culture. As a former Army infantryman who deployed to Iraq, I could relate to many of his assertions and the description of the mentality. I’ve been out for 10 years and have softened a bit, so my thinking has shifted since that time. Guess it’s up to me to write the book about former warriors gone soft with old age. Worth the read.
