Kill Me If You Can, You SOB is a judicious, penetrating record of the Vietnam War as experienced by an ordinary soldier. Through diary entries written over three decades ago, we get a rare and illuminating glimpse into one of America's greatest tragedies. Bob Miller's unflinching observations not only expose the harsh realities of war, but also provide a long-overdue tribute to the men who fought it.

Excerpt
At Operations this morning, I learned that the guy who had cut my hair had been a barber during the day and a VC at night. He had been killed while trying to blow up something. At least that's the Army's story. Hell, the guy might have been shot by accident or because he had given someone a bad haircut. Believe me, Diary; the people back home couldn't deal with knowing how many guys are sent home in body bags because of fratricide . . . The military is exactly like the Church; they try to sweep every ungodly act, and even honest mistakes, under the carpet.
