Ex-Staff Sergeant Bojack isn't sure what he wants to do with the
rest of his life, but he's pretty sure that this isn't it.
Surrounded by cornfields and bored commanders and neurotic
supervisors at an Indiana Air Force Base, Bojack is content to mind
his own business. Set in the post Vietnam Air Force of shag rugs
and gas wars, an American Airman is forced to reaffirm his
principles. In the 1970's the Strategic Air Command wasn't about to
admit why they had buried a wrecked B-58 supersonic bomber in a
bean field, but the discovery unleashes a string of violent
incidents in and around Grissom Air Force Base. Trying to find out
who did who, a female military police investigator, a state police
detective, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and a
pair of federal agents with an uncertain pedigree stumble across
one another to solve a decade old murder. Not having killed anybody
in a while, Bojack couldn't have cared less and was resigned to
ride out his second and last hitch in the Air Force until a friend
is murdered and the Security Police consider him a likely suspect.
With the help of a cunning ex stripper, the ex staff sergeant
launches an ambitious con which he hopes will flush out the real
killers. Guardmount is a tale of military women struggling with
their new ERA enhanced role, a military that had been largely
abandoned by the Country they fought to defend, and the values
young men learn in uniform; all during a decade of tremendous
upheaval, uncertainty and change. While Dick Nixon had been reigned
in, Patty Hearst was still on the loose and war veterans returned
home to a County they didn't recognize.
