Synopsis

Interrogation of Morals is an autobiographical piece by Jason Meszaros about his experience serving in the military during a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2004. His military service in Afghanistan altered his perception of freedom, courage, and integrity. Meszaros states: I want this book to be an example of the hardships, the experiences, the courage, the integrity and the honor that our military stands for. The military is and always has been a part of this country and will forever be here to protect Freedom and Liberty in America. Meszaros was in Afghanistan for only eight months, but those eight months would change him forever. He notes that...one of the hardest parts of being a citizen soldier is having to transition back to being a civilian. He will never forget being on the team that took down Roze (Rosie) Khan, a Taliban leader who had become a legendary outlaw known as the Taliban Billy the Kid.
