What is Kobo Super Points?
Jacobs gives us edited versions of his letters home, and he omits some entirely. He always tells the reader when he is doing this, but he does not tell us why. Jacobs is a guy who avoided formal education, but he comes from a middle-class family and his father was a World War II veteran and a veterinary doctor.

Jacobs minces no words about sensitive issues, such as bad commanders and their bad decisions, and the tragic decision to take away Ms and replace them with Ms that often jammed. The Inspector General, for whom I worked, was involved in an investigation about how the M let down the Marines. So when I read how the Marines begged for their Ms back and were denied them, I got teary about the deaths this casued.
Sad stuff, powerfully presented by Jacobs and by his commander who has a letter in the book. It took Rodger Jacobs many years to find himself after that war. Jacobs can be proud of this work of art, too, one of the finest enlisted Marine Corps memoirs I have read. I highly recommend Stained with the Mud of Khe Sanh.
