So Help Me God: A U.S Marine's Memoir of Abuse, Corruption, and Self-Discovery

Most Marine Corps memoirs focus on combat, heroism, and the bonds of brotherhood. So Help Me God: A U.S Marine's memoir of abuse, corruption, and Self-Discovery tells a very different story-one about surviving abuse, intimidation, and toxic leadership inside the infantry.

In 2011, Charles Verlice joined the US Marine Corps and served as an infantry rifleman in a unit where the real battles weren't fought overseas-they were fought at home. Under the command of senior enlisted leaders, he endured harassment, threats on his life, physical assault, and systemic efforts to keep him silent. The culture of silence and fear allowed corruption and abuse to flourish unchecked.

This is not a war story. It is a story of survival, resilience, and the fight to reclaim one's voice. With unflinching honesty, So Help Me, God: A U.S Marine's Memoir of Abuse, Corruption, and Self-Discovery exposes the toxic leadership and moral failures that too often go unreported in the military, while exploring the personal cost of living under intimidation and betrayal.

For readers of military memoirs, true stories of trauma and survival, and institutional expos廥, this memoir provides a rare inside look at the challenges faced by those who serve under oppressive command structures. It is a testament to courage, perseverance, and the urgent need for accountability within the U.S. Marine Corps.

"My greatest battle wasn't fought overseas-it was surviving inside my own unit." - Chuck Verlice
