Title: WHY GLORIFY DRUNKEN THUGS
Review: As a former USMC Recon leader, I was told about this book several years ago and just read it. I understand that it is not a recruiters guide to joining the legion but how can anyone take this organization seriously? The Marines and SEALS used unpleasant discipline as needed but we did not experience any deserters that I recall. If this behavior and treatment are accurate, they must have the lowest readiness, training, and morale percentages of any third world thug squad. I was disappointed with the book and its depiction of the legion. I expected to leave with a more positive perception of them. At least with the amount of drukenness, lack of deployability, and horrible small unit leadership; the legion cannot be taken even remotely seriously as a military force. This fortunately leaves the business of warfare and the gravity of its outcome to capable professional such as the American servicemen.
