Don't Tell - Morgan Nash - Bog

Don't Tell weaves the gripping tale of Jonathan Carter, a young soldier grappling with his sexuality amidst the harsh realities of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and the unforgiving operational tempo of the 75th Ranger Battalion at the beginning of the War on Terror. At 21, Jonathan carries not just the weight of his uniform but also the burden of a secret that could alter his world-his hidden love for Nelson, a fellow soldier who embodies the freedom and acceptance Jonathan yearns for.

When Lieutenant Hesse, a 27-year-old West Point graduate, joins Jonathan's platoon, their lives become entangled in ways none of them could have anticipated. Hesse's leadership challenges Jonathan to confront his fears and responsibilities, both on the battlefield and within the depths of his own heart.

Set against the backdrop of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, Don't Tell is a poignant exploration of love, duty, and the courage it takes to be true to oneself. Jonathan's journey is one of intense battles, both against a visible enemy and the invisible wars waged within. As he navigates the complexities of brotherhood, loyalty, and the longing for acceptance, Jonathan discovers that the hardest battles are fought in the silence of one's own soul.

With Nelson's friendship and Hesse's unexpected camaraderie, Jonathan faces the ultimate test of valor-embracing his true self amidst the chaos of war. Don't Tell is a story of sacrifice, the power of love, and the quest for truth in a world that demands conformity. It's a testament to the bravery required not just to fight on the front lines but to battle the inner conflicts that define us.
