Summary
An Iraq War memoir and searing political commentary from Fox News regular and “America’s Favorite Black, Gay Republican” Rob Smith

Moonlight meets American Sniper in this groundbreaking memoir and political commentary from a bold new voice in American politics. Before he became a war veteran and political analyst, he was a young black man who enlisted in the US Army right out of high school, survived the notoriously brutal infantry basic training, and served while remaining a closeted gay man to all but a few of his colleagues. At his first duty station, he finds himself in dangerous territory when the United States declares war on Iraq; in fact, his unit was one of the first called in after the initial invasion.

Rob’s experience offers a ground-level view of life on the front lines in the United States Army in an unforgettable coming-of-age story with a military twist. In addition to his memoir, Always a Soldier highlights his thoughts on current hot-button political topics like the new crop of Black Republicans and the escalating tactics of the LGBTQ community, announcing him as a voice in American politics that will be heard for years to come.

I looked back on a time before don't ask don't tell. Although I never engaged I would often wonder how it would feel to date a guy. I knew if anyone suspected I may have been put out of the Army on an dishonorable discharge. Luckily I retired with honors unfortunately my marriage to a woman didn't last although I was devoted to the marriage but she didn't have a clue about how to love or even know the feelings of love. I live a normal DL life DL because of the different generations. I am enjoying this book it bring back so many memories and a lot of Mother Theresa stories.
