Love My Rifle More than You: Young
and Female in the U.S. Army by Kayla
Williams
Love My Rifle More Than You
“Brave, honest, and necessary.”—Nancy Pearl, NPR Seattle Kayla
Williams is one of the 15 percent of the U.S. Army that is female, and she
is a great storyteller. With a voice that is “funny, frank and full of gritty
details” (New York Daily News), she tells of enlisting under Clinton; of
learning Arabic; of the sense of duty that fractured her relationships; of
being surrounded by bravery and bigotry, sexism and fear; of seeing 9/11
on Al-Jazeera; and of knowing she would be going to war. With a
passion that makes her memoir “nearly impossible to put down” (Buffalo
News) Williams shares the powerful gamut of her experiences in Iraq, from
caring for a wounded civilian to aiming a rifle at a child. Angry at the
bureaucracy and the conflicting messages of today’s military, Williams
offers us “a raw, unadulterated look at war” (San Antonio Express News)

and at the U.S. Army. And she gives us a woman’s story of empowerment
and self-discovery.
Personal Review: Love My Rifle More than You: Young and
Female in the U.S. Army by Kayla Williams
"Love My Rifle More Than" You was recommended to me by my niece who
is preparing to depart for her [...] of duty in 3 years. She is a Sgt. in the
U.S. Army. She drives trucks loaded with young men and women soldiers
and ammunition to the frontlines. She explained THIS IS A MUST READ
for ANYONE who has a LOVED ONE fighting in todays (as well as
understanding previous VETERANS feelings that never will leave them)
WAR!! I read it in one day (I've never done that with ANY BOOK - EVER!) I
was COMPLETELY ENGULFED. My family took a back seat for that day
as I could not drag myself from this young ladies life experiences.
If you have anyone in your life who has, or is about to see, WAR....READ
"Love MyRifle More Than You"...If it's your CHILD who is "IN THE GIANT
SANDBOX" Nnnnnoooooowwwwwww.....Get a prescription for OXYGEN
from your doctor before you sit down to read (trust me you will find yourself
short of breath). And while your at it a prescripton for Valium so you can
sleep afterward. Sleep was illusive for nearly a week afterward. Finally I
PASSED OUT, The dreams were not at all comforting. If you are reading
this review....and it is YOUR CHILD "OVER THERE". My prayers and
undying graditute are with you and your DAUGHTER OR SON!!!! GOD
BLESS YOU AND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liz F. from
Chicago (God BLess America, the one our fore fathers died for, not today
atempted "new and improved ONE WORLD,ONE ECONOMY, POLICE
STATE that's in the making")
