I tried a few times to get into this one. It just didn't hook me. There were too many names and locations... and some other things. 

I'm not opposed to a minimalist style. That was a point in its favor. Also, it looks like there's a murder mystery in there somewhere so that could be good. 

That I'm completely unfamiliar and unintersted in the military settings and people is probably one problem. I didn't understand a lot of the military jargon in there - and there is a lot. And there's an excessive amount of weird slang that's either meant to place it in the period of history or maybe it's more military stuff. Where I understood the reference, it was a bit cringeworthy, and where I didn't, it was just a blank for me. 

The slang and jargon and how the characters spoke and related to each other seems to be yelling at you to appreciate how macho bros work together and I don't know if I can or want to step into that locker room situation for hours on end. 

Lots of slurs too. I get it's fiction and the time period, etc, but it just seemed gratuitous.
