+CrazyhorseB34 937 Posted July 4, 2013 The new book "Carnivore" is not worth your time. The guy that wrote it is a notorious jackass known throughout the "Armor community." Many embellishments and outright lies. Want to read about 3ID in Iraq, read "Thunder Run." Once again steer clear of this self promoting rag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Gunrunner 313 Posted July 4, 2013 I think you didn't need to warn us about that one.... Carnivore: A Memoir by One of the Deadliest American Soldiers of All Time by Dillard Johnson Amid ferocious fighting that many times nearly took his life, Sergeant Dillard "C. J." Johnson and his crew are recognized by Pentagon reports to have accounted for astonishing enemy KIA totals while battling inside and out of the "Carnivore," the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Johnson commanded during Operation Iraqi Freedom. After miraculously beating stage-three cancer (caused by radiation exposure from firing armor-piercing depleted-uranium rounds during combat), he returned to his platoon in Baghdad for a second tour, often serving as a sniper protecting his fellow troops. Today, Johnson and his men's story is the stuff of legend—earning them a cover story in Soldier of Fortune and a display in the Fort Stewart Museum. But only now is Johnson telling his full story: reviewed and approved for publication by the Department of Defense, Carnivore is the gripping and unflinchingly honest autobiography of a remarkable American warrior. Reading only this has me both laughing and feeling dirty, then there's the Amazon reviews and the real fun begins... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
