Herbert traces his distinguished military career until he attempts to report "war crimes" in his AO during the Viet Nam war. The aspect I'm wondering about is his description of "command atmosphere" I guess you could say. He makes a number of observations about "dog and pony shows" and I'm curious if they still hold true today (in general).

It was a very handy book but other than his observations, I am afraid becoming a bit out dated. Cpl Dennis F.

Highly recommend to everyone! He joined the Army as an enlisted man and I believe would have been an outstanding general officer, had his career not ended as <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="278651" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/278651-po3-john-jeter">PO3 John Jeter</a> explained. Now that he's mentioned the book, I read it about 10 years ago, I think I'll pull it out and read it again when I finish the one I'm currently reading now. Thanks! 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 26 Aug 2014 14:19:18 -0400 2014-08-26T14:19:18-04:00 2014-08-24T12:15:43-04:00
