The book he wrote about his experiences as a Marine rifleman.
I hadn't seen it posted yet so I wanted to get it on a high comment.
Since he was too polite to link it, here's the book.
Old enough, apparently, to have been a combat Marine in the Pacific in WW2. And to write a book about it:
Battleground Pacific: A Marine Rifleman's Combat Odyssey in K/3/5
And also, apparently, not give a damn anymore about anonymity.
[Edit] Previewed a few pages on Amazon. It's a good read!

Battleground Pacific it would seem.
Have you read Battleground Pacific? It's written by Redditor Sterling Mace, covering his recolections of the same battles but as a rifleman rather than as a mortar man. It's a bit more earthy.
Check out this book if you're looking for a real perspective on combat... This guy doesn't pull any punches (and he's done a couple AMAs if you do a little bit of looking)
He did write a book. If he's a troll he's a committed one.

My personal recommendations:
My 30 year war by Onada Hiro:
This book was written by a Japanese lieutenant who refused to believe the war was over, and continued living in the jungles of the Philippines until the 70s.
