Thanks for the view into your life. The author that I enjoy seems like a kindred spirit, with an upbringing to mine. It is a shame thaat the background and world view we share feels somewhat alien. We hav eto keep trying to feturn to the good parts and be wis enough to know which are which.

"A Sense of Honor" by James Webb and "On Valors Side" by T Grady Gallant were two of the most influential books on my service time I ever read at a very young age. I'm 4th gen mil as well so I get it brother

If you haven’t read West of Honor, I highly recommend it …. Officers are officers and NCOs are NCOs, as God and Jerry Pournelle intended
