Description of  Yellow Green Beret: Stories of an Asian-American Stumbling Around U.S. Army Special Forces

Forget slapstick comedy, when it comes to U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Chester Wong writing his memoir, Yellow Green Beret: Stories of an Asian-American Stumbling Around U.S. Army Special Forces, its more about chopstick humorand random acts of hilarity. From his days at West Point through his time serving as a Green Beret combat commander on the frontlines of Iraq and the Philippines, Wong tells how he scaled the ranks despite being more adept at cutting corners than taking orders. Darkly comic and brutally honest, Wongs stories range from sting operations on Filipino cell phone thieves to ordering pizzas during special operations wilderness survival school. And beyond the humor, his darker stories offer up a no-holds-barred account of what its like to serve on the front lines as a Special Forces commander, showing the strange mix of tedium, absurdity, danger and bravery that colored his four tours and just what its like to be yellow and fight for the red, white, and blue. Whether or not youre in the Army, theres a whole lot of adventure and a whole lot of whod have thoughts and imagine thats in this military memoir. With short stories like Johnnie Walker Brown, Wily Filipino Cell Phone Thieves, and Sniper School: Extending the Range of Personality Lethality, Wong pokes fun at the ironies of special operations combat, the idiosyncrasies of military life, and the absurdities of life on the frontline more often than not he heckles his own harebrained ways. Each vignette is a standalone anecdote sometimes theres a lesson, sometimes its just for a laugh. He reminisces his West Point and Special Forces training, working with various militaries in Southeast Asia, and serving in Iraq and the Philippines, as well as general tidbits of military life. With a self-deprecating humor style, he leaves readers rolling with laughter and reflection on his unique observations and lessons learned from a path not often taken, which is good since this memoir is the first in a three-part collection.
