<p>This book and its author grew up together. The 1960s in America transformed everyone who lived through this amazing time in our nation&#39;s history. Civil rights laws were fought for and passed; women began to find a voice and break down barriers. Immigrant workers and Native Americans raised their voices. We became a smarter more aware nation-for a while. The Vietnam War became a symbol of those times. The music helped define us and the illegal use of banned substances gave some of us the temporary courage to face the insanity head-on. The ranch is a mostly accurate first-person account of one young man&#39;s strange journey from gung ho high school student to landing himself in the middle of the world&#39;s most dangerous navy. Our hero slowly evolves into a war resister who gets into the exact amount of trouble to get assigned to a horse ranch in the U.S. Navy. There are a few rants that I included for mostly therapeutic reasons and several well-chosen fits of profanity that help to paint the military experience as it was and I believe still is to this day. I consider this book funny and thoughtful but then I&#39;m severely prejudiced. I wrote this back cover account myself because George Carlin and Joseph Heller had busy schedules in the afterlife and I don&#39;t know Sara Silverman-yet. The Ranch is my first attempt at being considered a writer. I have plans to write a second book which will document my experience as a telephone man in Northeast New Jersey. There will be plenty of danger sex drugs and rock and roll with a hint of The Sopranos so don&#39;t spoil my enthusiasm and buy this book. Thanks America.</p>
