What's it like to lose the girl you love? What's it like to lose your best friend? What's it like to shoot a Uranium Depleted Sabot shell through an Iraqi tank? Sgt Jake Bloom of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment finds out in the First Gulf War. He fights for his life and the lives of his men in the desert, and for his faith and first love at home.
