Okay, ever since the beginning of the month, when I did the “New TV” comic with “Band of Brothers”, I’ve been thinking about the show. Finally I had to watch it again. So I thought of this.
Of course, the saying is that the army with the coolest uniforms will always be the ones that end up losing a war. If that’s the case, then maybe the US Army should have kept that awful digital camouflage Army Combat Uniform. We’d be invincible, because that thing was made of fail.
What's it like to be in the Army for real, and get deployed to a place like the Iraq War? In BOHICA Blues, I turn my actual experiences into a slice of absurdist humor and walk you through this period of history from one person's perspective.
Using the classic TV show "M*A*S*H" as a guide, I created BOHICA Blues in 2013 to tell the story of what a deployment was like, with the absurdities of military life and war for all to see. It starts with the initial mobilization news, and goes on from there. BOHICA Blues isn't as "salty" as a lot of veteran humor; it doesn't have F-bombs, gore, or nudity: it could hypothetically appear on regular broadcast television.
Hopefully you can enjoy this and invite others to see what the Iraq War was like from someone who went there and is willing to share the experience with a laugh.
