Review title: unique embedded journalist with great insights
Product review: As an outsider to the military I found this book very interesting. The "tribe" within the various SF & Marine teams and platoons as well as the culture found therein was somewhat of the surprise. It was immensely believeable and rang true for the most part throughout.The unique problems and challenges found in each locale along with the history and evolution of each area made the unconventional approach seem obvious.The military reality post WW2 of massive firepower also makes sense and the transition to modern day realities for such a huge structure is slow and cumbersome. I was left with respect for the people who made this their life's work and hope for the future. The sociology contained in Kaplan's views also seem astute. He is certainly not your usual journalist, which he readily admits and I thank him for that.
