Hilarious

All I can say is the book is interesting and entertaining. If this really is the actual survival manual the army gets they are in a lot of trouble, eg. they recommend you drop kick a beaver, this is monty python style crazy. I wouldn't take it too serious but it makes entertaining bathroom reading.

Was a gift
