This book is absolutely incredible. It made me laugh more than any book in so many years. I found the writing just so unbelievably brilliant and hilarious and affecting . . . I am crazy about it! - Marina HydeI loved it . . . relentlessly funny and really well written - John OliverAuthentic and compulsive - Richard E. GrantA fascinating insight into the often farcical chaos and catastrophe of war. Reads like a non-fiction Catch-22. Compelling, enlightening and bleakly funny. A jaw-dropping read. - Matt HaigAn instant classic - a deeply funny and mordant book about war. - Richard CurtisOwain Mulligan was never what you'd call a career soldier. Nor even a particularly good one. At weekends he trained with the Territorial Army and dreamt of swapping the mayhem of teaching in a tough school for the adventure of service in Iraq. At least they'd let him wear a helmet in Iraq.

But when the job in headquarters he's been expecting doesn't materialise, he finds himself on the streets of Basra during one of the most violent periods of the conflict. Between homicidal militias, a chain of command who seem determined to get him killed, and equipment which might well do it for them, he and his men have their work cut out. It certainly puts double geography with 9E into perspective.

The Accidental Soldier is a searingly honest and darkly funny account of what it was really like being in the British Army in Iraq (including all the bits they probably hoped you'd never find out). We share all the hardships, fears, and occasional lunacy of military life as Owain and his men try to navigate a war gone badly wrong. One thing's for sure; you'll never look at the phrase 'military precision' in quite the same way again...

Good for travel
It was very convenient to use in my travel water pick. The taste is good. The only difficulty was opening it.

excellent mouthwash but contains xylitol
This mouthwash is awesome! It makes my teeth and gums feel very clean and healthy. The mint flavor is refreshing. It's a concentrated mouthwash which is designed to be used in your water flosser. This order contains 30 individual packs of concentrated mouth wash. I made the mistake of not reading the product description before using it, so it took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to open one. You twist the end off to open each pack. Please note that this product contains xylitol so be sure to keep them far away from dogs as xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs.

The additive makes the water nice and minty. Each pack flavors one tank full of water.
MySmile Water Flosser Mouthwash, Travel Size Concentrated Mouth Wash for Adults, 15x Concentrated Equals 200 FL oz, Alcohol Free for Bad Breath, Fresh Mint, (30 Uses, 0.06 fl oz) First impressions: Nice individually portioned packages of concentrated additive for use in your water flosser. The liquid inside is to be added to a full tank of water. It makes the water nice and minty. Installation/setup: Add to a full tank of water in your water flossing machine. Final thoughts: The additive makes the water nice and minty. Each pack flavors one tank full of water. The instructions say to use the flosser twice a day and it is really a very pleasant taste. I like this and I’m glad I got it. ⭐️1 star - I don't recommend it at all, poor quality. ⭐️⭐️ 2 stars - I don't recommend it, it has multiple faults, or a very high price. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars - It's passable, It has some faults but the quality is ok for what it is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars - Product quite acceptable, it does what it promises. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars - Product that I totally recommend.
