More autobiography than substance

Revisado: 11-23-22

A monumental waste of time by an author more interested self praise than really furthering the premise of the book. Science in his mind seems to be this static thing that has stopped exploring and learning.

Good piece of author's bias.

Revisado: 11-09-21

Topic extremely interesting and relevant. Very well organized and presented right up to the analysis of Gender Roles... suffice to say that the author's bias came through loud and clear and drew some ridiculous conclusions that make absolutely no sense. If this was supposed to be an opinion work I guess it succeeded, otherwise just a waste of time.

Riveting misses some other contributors...

Revisado: 07-29-21

Really good and gives credit where it belongs. Seems like only about 12% of the total force ever sees combat, but plays an integral part of support for the Grunt. Could have acknowledged this better. The Grunt does not go alone, but DOES DO THE HEAVY LIFTING. Also could have done a better job in the analysis of the Insurgency in Iraq that was completely missed and finally brought to the forefront by leaders like Petraeus and others. Of course lets not forget that the whole basis for the Iraq invasion was bogus and the Politicians as usual have much wasted noble blood on their hands. A Marine

a Chronicle of Greed

Revisado: 03-08-21

incredibly honest narrative on how little we as an nation considered a culture ( and Cultures) that had been here for 10,000 years. Our taking of lands, displacement of peoples to fulfill OUR destiny in the name of our Religion which we used to justify raw greed is just one more chronicle of our continuing polocies today.

Fascinating

Revisado: 02-26-21

Fascinating story of a man and excellent history lesson of a war we should never have fought. When will we learn our lesson.

Interesting but too, too many digressions.

Revisado: 08-14-20

Started reading already completely aware of the incompetence of DJT. Not sure if this is a condemnation of Fred, the Culture, Social disintegration or maybe Man's inherent corruption. If that is so, then DJT is as much a victim as WE are. I think he is simply a criminal of the sort like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin or pick your Despot. He deserves the full credit for who he is and I hope he spends a long time in Prison for his crimes.

Complete waste of time

Revisado: 07-28-18

overfilled with mind numbing pith and highly formulaic military protocol and procedures. all the time this supposed team of experts fumbling around in some moronic drama, no subject matter experts on metallurgy, electronics? indestructible metal? maybe the worst attempt at sci fi i have ever read.

complete misunderstanding of industrial processes

Revisado: 06-27-16

conclusion that all of the auto makers mistakes are a result of the "bean counters" represents a complete misunderstanding of how design and manufacturing works. since when has cost control been a bad idea? should every car maker produce cars that no one can afford or last longer than the underlying technology? this portion of the book shadows the conclusions of the whole book, relegating it to just another pointless rant. don't waste your time on this book.

How to fight a war and win

Revisado: 05-03-16

While I was impressed by the extroidinary skill and intellect of Petraeus and his cohorts, I was somewhat dissapointed that there was no acknowledgement of the lives lost by commanders that were either not interested in efficient methods or just too lazy or egocentric. The fact that Gen Franks had no phase 4 plan is outrageous and Paul Brenner should be in Prison for literally causing the insurgency in the first place. It is heartening that the is,a place in the US Military for the Soldier Scholar so as to hopefully use war to end it for good . USMA 72
