The personal account of a young Marine sniper during the Gulf War. He and his fellow soldiers endure the extreme boredom, anxiety, and anticipation of combat in the Saudi Arabian desert. They train relentlessly for a war that seems to never come, their morale tested by the psychological toll of waiting and the constant fear of the conflicts within their own unit.
