Based on the true stories of author John O’Brien’s service in the Irish Defence Forces, these ten tales are a laugh-out-loud comedy of errors bursting with brilliant dialogue, ridiculous antics, and an unforgettable cast of hapless soldiers making the best of the humdrum routine of military life. From the mystery of the Sarge’s missing steak to the case of the Inexplicable Coffee to the epic bollix of the villa party in the final tale—and plenty in between—Soldier Tales: Reloaded is a hilarious collection of military farce in the vein of Catch-22, a book that will keep you laughing from the first page to the very last.About the AuthorJohn O’Brien is married and lives in County Kildare, Ireland. He is a retired soldier, having served twenty-three years in the Irish Army. During his time in the Army, he served twice overseas in the Middle East, completing two tours of duty in Lebanon with the United Nations.  3
