This book was hilarious! It's a great telling of Mat's life to the time of the book and of how one thing has lead him to another to be the successful business owner he has become.
Also thank you for your service Mat!
Thank You For My Service by Mat Best is one of the better military memoirs I've read. He's a badass, I guess... I think he would've been cooler as a Marine, though. I'm not biased. As military adjacent, I like reading up on military nonfiction/memoirs, but as a critic, I'm wary because I've read some racist bullshit masquerading as a war memoir.

“Thinking you‘re going to die and wanting to die are totally different things. I didn‘t have a death with. It‘s just that, in my experience, the more you deploy and face the dark realities that exist in life, the more comfortable you become with the idea of death.”
I enjoyed this for what it was and knew going in what it was gonna be like . There were times it was excessive and a bit cringy for me but he surely is himself and I appreciate that. Great insight into his life and experiences. I am thankful for his service and his heart for helping other veterans.
