She was a soldier and wrote a book entitled &#8220;Love My Rifle More Than You&#8221; about her experiences in the Army and Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d hinted that I was looking into Williams background in a post over a year ago (I wasn&#8217;t really, I just wanted to shake the bushes and see what fell out), but a couple of good friends warned me away from her because of some problem she had in regards to her civilian life. So anyway, I figured after several months of letting the subject cool down, I&#8217;d better look into this chick because she was so worried about me and my famous skill. I guessed that the best place to start is this book. Everyone was giving it rave reviews and praising Williams for her honesty &#8211; so what could it hurt, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ll tell you right up front that I couldn&#8217;t finish the book. It&#8217;s been sitting on my nightstand for three months haunting me after I spent another three months trying to slug my way through the book. Finally, last night I decided that the book is such a piece of shit, if it has any redeeming value in the last half, it&#8217;s not worth shoveling through the shit in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s clear to me that Kayla Williams thinks very highly of herself &#8211; especially her tits, which get mentioned very often as well as her mind-numbing descriptions of her love life and, oh, how much the guys love her tits. Now we&#8217;ve never met, but I&#8217;ve seen pictures of Kayla Williams (you can Google her name and see the pictures yourself) and I&#8217;ll admit she&#8217;s not plain, but she&#8217;s not what I&#8217;d put in my &#8220;knock-out&#8221; category either, but it&#8217;s obvious from reading the book, she thinks she is definitely on the top of the heap.<\/p>\n<p>The book begins with her pot-smoking father and her stereo-typical Republican Victorian Age mother and the conflicts she faced in that relationship. One thing I&#8217;ve learned being a middle-aged man is that you&#8217;re only a victim of your parents if you want to be, and Kayla seemed bound and determined to make her parents the excuse for her bad behavior.<\/p>\n<p>After shacking up with several guys through college, she then joins the Army and complains that guys are always hitting on her. No shit? She&#8217;s laying out this tramp image in the book, I can only imagine what she talked about with her fellow soldiers. Now, I&#8217;ll admit that I&#8217;ve worked with very few women in my career, but I never hit on them and I tend to believe that most of the men in the Army are the same way. But, Williams seems determined to prove that all men are pigs &#8211; so we get all of these stories of guys hitting on her within the first moments of meeting her.<\/p>\n<p>Holy shit, if I&#8217;m reading a book about war, I don&#8217;t want to read about how her roommate&#8217;s ass and Williams&#8217; tits combined in a single female form would make a perfect woman.<\/p>\n<p>In addition she was a soup sandwich as a soldier. You know how combat arms troops are always saying that pogues cry about the sand in their pussy? This bint actually whines in her book about having sand in her pussy. I don&#8217;t mean to be profane, but holy shit, how cliche can you get?<\/p>\n<p>And then there was a dust-up between Williams and a female sergeant, SSG Moss, Williams thought her squad leader was a buffoon. OK, most of us do, but apparently, women deal with this with little fits and getting into a snit. Williams wouldn&#8217;t obey her squad leader without a sneer, or little display of anger, or a smart alecky comment. So SSG Moss finally breaks down and cries &#8211; a staff sergeant in the US Army cries because a subordinate is mean to her. This isn&#8217;t a book about war, it&#8217;s pilot episode of another bad Lifetime Channel series for women. There wasn&#8217;t even a hot lesbian story about them making up. WTH?<\/p>\n<p>So, do you see the pattern here? Everyone in the Army is screwed up&#8230;except Kayla Williams. All of the men and anyone else who happens to be in charge of Kayla Williams. See, that&#8217;s the problem when a private writes a book about the military &#8211; privates only see the little picture right in front of their goofy faces, they can&#8217;t see why the decisions are being made, so they make everyone look like idiots because the leaders don&#8217;t make the decisions that Joe thinks are the proper decisions. I guess they think privates should be in charge.<\/p>\n<p>I apologize for not finishing the book for you &#8211; but hardly any of you pay me money, and I&#8217;m not reading the rest of this piece of shit. Besides, nothing pisses me off more than listening to privates whining and in this case, I paid to read a private whining almost endlessly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you who don&#8217;t know, Kayla Williams is one of the front page authors &hellip; <a title=\"Love Myself More Than You\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=19389\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Love Myself More Than You<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bloggers-and-stuff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19389\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
