His books are really good/funny and one of the best insights into daily life funny situations in the Green Beret, West Point and Rangers.

This video deserves more views and YGB(the book) deserves to be a hollywood movie. The script is probably written alr but just waiting for the hollywood execs to greenlight more asian american films. (After CRA and hopefully MCU movies)
