If you like bizarre American militaristic masturbatory fantasies, then you'll love it. Here's an extract:
"Waves of B-52H bombers performed the most intensive bombing raids since the Vietnam War… all concentrated on the one, city. Wave after wave, the bombers came throughout the 8th, 9th and 10th of June…non-stop.
Interspersed in with the ARC LITE bombing was the use of dozens of newly developed MOAB II area demolition bombs. Mammoth 60,000 pound bombs that were delivered by specially 672 configured C-17 Globe Master transports, dubbed B-17 IIs. Each of those behemoths was capable of completely reducing entire city blocks. They were known as poor man's mini-non-nukes.
By the morning of the 9th, first hundreds…and then thousands of inhabitants and combatants began exiting the ruined city. Any who came out with weapons in their hands, or who otherwise attempted to fight were immediately shot down and killed. Soon, all who came out were unarmed and nonbelligerent.
By the afternoon on the 9th, no major structure was left standing in the city. By noon on the 10th, when the bombing campaign ended, not one stone was standing left upon another within Mecca.
An eerie silence fell across the face of the countryside in and around the remains of the city. There was not so much as a moan coming from the ruins.
That afternoon, allied scout, EOD and medic teams entered the city. Over a two day period, fewer than 500 injured were pulled from the mounds of rubble. By the 14th of June, all rescue and recovery efforts ceased. The allies did not intend to rebuild Mecca…they intended to send a message.
Over one hundred U.S. Army D-9 caterpillar bulldozers then appeared on the perimeter around the city and converged on it. They literally covered over the smoldering debris and smoothed it out in three days time. A flat, desolate landscape then occupied the ground where once Mecca stood. All
debris, all ruined or discarded weapons-all bodies-had been buried there.
Atop this soil the allies sprinkled salt and then soaked the ground in swine fat. Around the perimeter, and interspersed every five hundred yards within, the following metal signs were erected:
'Here stood Mecca, until it was occupied by barbarians, terrorists and desecrators and those who harbored them, who then committed atrocities against the United States of America and the United Kingdom and their allies.
Now there is nothing here but a desolation of pig-fat and salt.
Let the fate of this once great city be a clear message to all those who would
desecrate that which is holy and who would consider committing similar atrocities against United States or United Kingdom forces, personnel or civilians.
To the innocent we allowed to escape we say-De Oppresso Libre!
To the barbarians who died here we say-Sic Simper Tyranis!' "
So yeah. Have fun!

The general idea is not bad, even if basically is a sum of every right-wing fear.
The style is readable even if in many many moment become so over the top that's impossible to take it seriously...just read the death scene of 'Not Swarzkopft' President plus it's openly hypocrite, with things done by the enemy being horrible and inhuman but the same things done by the good old us being smart and just; not counting various scene ripped off blatantly by 24.
On the technical side, frankly i doubt that this kind of war will last years as the author say as the replenishment of the loss in both material and ammunition will be much more slow and frankly the numbers spit by Head of the loss for both side will quickly reduce the respective force as just hollow shelf, hell the Iranian air forces loss in the Turkey initial campaign are more than 100 jets...basically they have ceased to exist as a combat force.
Finally seem that the entire war scope is to force the US to finally admit that the Repubblicans were always right; no women in combat (due to the treatment of the captured women soldiers in NK...basically pure old fashioned yellow peril); no weapon control (so the courageous and competent american citizens can fight back trained terrorist
) and no abort (due to a side story that don't bring anything in the war storyline but is here just to demonstrate that abort is bad and the fetus was always alive).
At this pleas add some good Democrats and French bashing and a love letter to Germany martial prowness and New Europe (basically East Europe of Rumsfeldian memory)
