yes sir, that is the one. i was going to star last night but then i didn't! so that is an update for you. the chapter thing worked very well for discussions cuz it was easy to keep track of what each person read. but mainly, as long as we stay close to each other on where we is at it will work just fine. imo.

Ok well i listened to Chapter 1 of Legionnaire
Looking on audible it appears there are 11 Legionnaire chapters before it moves on to the next part.
so... um. pretty good i guess? thought the "pappy" thing was kinda horrible. but he may be dead now. it is much harder to remember wad u want to say when listening! i enjoyed the way they ended the chapter with a bang. i realize a lot of this is setup and sort of getting familiar with what kind of story we're dealing with. i'm picturing the old Red vs Blue (is that Halo?) video game series. with the sleds and gunners and helmets and things. :B

oh man! red vs blue is a great comparison. as i was (almost said reading) listening i thought, boy, this sure is war-y! don't know how to write that without it being wary. anyway. curious how the whole book will be. is the whole thing gonna be all soldiery? sure seems like mostly! also, this guy sure likes the term dumpster fire. i'm ok with it, don't love it as much as this guy.

finished chapter 2 - are those the chapter names? i guess so! :B
boy, i thought this was warree, i hadn't seen nothing yet! these aliens are just sort of horrible frogs that get killed apparently. and are bad at using tanks but not THAT bad that they can't blow up a few slabs.. skiffs? SLEDS! that's the word. couldn't find it there. kinda like how there are horrible bureaucrats in charge of army people in the middle of battle making horrible decisions! how is that a thing!? but also i could totally see that being a thing!

at least his horrible decision had immediate consequences! *makes horribly bad decision* *is blowed up 1 minute later* :B
so far it is reminding me of a war book where he just changed the enemy name from kurds to koobs! and updated some tech. like, is this just a rephrase of some iraq war stuff? i'm sure it won't continue that way (well, pretty sure. ;dunno; ) but so far that's my impression.

that's a good take. like we have just listened to straight up war talk so far. and yeah, except for them having sacks or something, i mean on their face, they could be kurds. very weird. i hope it gets better than this.
read listened to chapter 3 - it's more war stuff as you might imagine. war maneuvers and shooting things in the head and some super human lieutenant wraith.

he runs really fast and smooth or whatever. :B now i need to know if these dumb koobs have sacks anywhere else! or does their face sack serve all normal sack purposes and they are otherwise sackless? ;dunno; hoo rah or something. ok listenread to chapter 4*war words* *ear poppers* ;shrug; oh yeah so he keeps saying "KTF"like it's a lege (leege? leej? ) known saying. he promised to tell ehh.. twenties? or someone what it meant after their mission was over. but that was before it went to hell. but anyway he said KTF again in this chapter. i'm thinking it means something like Kill Town Fuck!@# so i read and listened to some stuff by JOCKO WILLINK navy seal a while back. they had a saying "BTF" that they would use. stood for Big Tough Frogman (frogman is seal nickname... cuz they are in water a lot or whatever) ANYWAY! it was their way of saying, this is gonna suck, but hey BTF. BTF ur way through it. pludge forward. BTF. ur supposed to be a badass seal? well, get the shit done even tho it suxxor. BTF it. so, that reminded me of KTF. so, not sure the specific words they are acronymning but that's my best guess as to the meaning. :B

he runs really fast and smooth or whatever. :B i guess he's observant too. these are things i need to know and i need to know NOW!! what is the sack situation with these frogpeople! and by frog people i mean aliens that are actual giant frogs not navy seals! me too finally. i read 4 and 5 so yeah. it is a tip that he finally tells whoever about it in chapter 5. the answer is kill them first. you were right about it being kill. i was thinking kill the fucks! or something like that! that was a lot of words about frogmen and acronyms and stuff. good job. pludging is what i'll need to do with this booko! anyway, they did finish with this dumb tank and this bit. so i'll be curious if we go somewhere interesting or straight to another battle.

also! it is a tip that SIX!
i'm not sure here... so they finished up with the tank. wraith's unit took it out i think. he's also lieutenant ford right? maybe cuz it's audiobook i'm having trouble. or is ford and wraith 2 different characters? hmm. not 100% clear on this, obviously, since i just typed it up!!
also that horrible captain or whatever he is is pretty horrible! it's like he's horrible on purpose. anyhoo. still no word on various sacks these koobs do or don't have.

kill them first is a pretty unspicy KTF acronymn! like, this is a war right? of course KTF!@#$ WTF MAN!@# DON'T WORRY I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WTF STANDS FOR IF I DEEM YOU WORTHY AT SOME POINT!@#$# haven't ristened (read + listened ;hyper; hmm ) to 6 yet, but during chapter 5 i felt like he said "opened up on them" a bit much!@# and the koobs were in disarray and then we opened up on them. we opened up on them and they didn't know what hit them. some of them jumped off the 80 foot cliff before we opened up on them. so apparently there were a koob, a human and a grecknork (i don't remember what made up race he called them) in the tank. so there's some weird alliance happening. i hope they open up on them soon and KTF. :B i'll lead ch 6 later today ;shoulderhands;

yes they're teh same person. it's made a little more clear in chapter 7 when they're talking to Devers and then later to Pappy. well i realize that NOW! dang straight! i AM done with 7. and the answer is more horrible times from mr. horrible. i feel like, at this point they need to be like, well, we don't believe you! and we are arresting you for crimes of like, lying about being promoted or something! you can't just leave him in charge!

well i realize that NOW! wElL, eYe gEz pApPy saId hE wUz iN cHrG n0w sEw OwE kAyyyyy :B this battalion or troop or leeg or whatever. i noted a line that struck me as good. or funny maybe. mr horibl devers said something horrible about (Chun? - the main character. think his name's chun) anyway about him wearing his broken helmet for battle psychology reasons or whatever. Chun [to himself]: "Reincarnation must be real because no one can get that stupid in one lifetime". ZING!@# ;HYPER; other lines are grating on me, like when he drops made up names of crap. pappy says something like "the smoldering remains of a twarg crap"! and i'm like.. ok, like, other than saying Koob and Twarg crap and stuff THIS ISN'T A SCI FI BOOKO AT ALL!@#$@# switch koob to Kurd and Twarg to and Elephant or something and this is just a dumb old earth war book. smdh. hth. tia. fwiw.

i leaded 8 and 9. so great i couldn't stop! no, i don't know why i did 2. i guess the first one was short maybe.
so this is not exactly how it went. :B some XO guy was pretty pissed off about. as far as i could tell he had the right idea. but maybe a bunch of the non-legions would have got upset and tried to fight the legioniers and then they would have had to kill some innocents. i guess.
i remember that one. it was alright.
yep. so true. it's all just war words. troops and loyalty. and guns and position. and well, i guess there WAS a spaceship but apparently that got blowed up so now we don't even have that! and we don't have any idea how that happened or wtf is going on at all!
i don't have anything specific to add regarding 9 or 8 really. :B

i lead 8. XO (Exo?) EXXXOOOOOO wanted to blaster Devers in da haid. but didn't. yes sir! maybe you didn't read mine yet since i said i read 8 and 9. sorry for ruining everything with this book. i'm such a jerk. i didn't really spoil anything i don't think. i don't know. yeah, no i didn't maybe i'll post wether there is actually a spoiler in teh future ovur dare! i guess they are. and that is going to work on swimmingly! so those are bad things right? maybe you like for books to spread through me like space lice!? i don't know! THIS BOOK MAKES ME ITCHY AND COVERED IN SPACE BUG EGGS!! ok, that sounds pretty bad now that i think about it.
i had to think about it first to figure it out. at first i didn't think about it, but then i did!
