Hey everyone!

I’m somewhat new to the forum, and I have a few questions for this book I’m planning.

A basic synopsis of what I’ve planned so far: United States Marine Corps soldier Jackson Barrett goes on a combat patrol with his squad, on which he and his squad members capture this one enemy captain. Info that he later releases in questioning soon gets Jackson and his squad sent on a mission to infiltrate and take out an enemy underground bunker. The mission goes well from the start, but after a soldier steps on a land mine on the way out, they are engaged and pinned down by hundreds of insurgents. Jackson soon finds a way out, but pretty quickly has to make choices that could cost him or the squad their lives.

The following are the questions I’ll start off with, if I have any more I’ll ask them:

(1) Are there any former/current USMC people on here who could give me advice? (Specifically, I don’t want to write a book that is nowhere near a real USMC mission, I want to try and get it as accurate as possible.)

(2) Plot lines. Man I’m terrible at those. (Like, how do I even plan one?) Any advice is greatly appreciated

(3)Does anyone know of a way to write a swearing marine (lets just admit it, marines will swear) and keep the book Christian?

(4) How can I write a pretty much cold blooded killer and keep it Christian?

(5) Has anyone here ever written modern military books and could give advice here?

any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance. At some point here I’ll post character descriptions.
