Re: Anyone know of some good books?
Although the writer can be a bit of a butt, the Last 100 yards and The Phantom Soldier are good to share at your work, if I am guessing right.
Also, for you:
<span style="font-weight: bold">One Bullet Away, by Nathaniel Fick
The Unforgiving Minute, by Craig Mullaney
Joker One, by Donovan Campbell</span>
All are current stories from platoon leaders, with ideas ranging from personal thoughts to tactics, techniques and procedures. Your mind should travel from muscle memory skills to the mindset of your leaders, two steps up...
Also,
<span style="font-weight: bold">Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife, by John Nagl, Pete Shoomaker
War of the Flea, by John Taber</span>
Two that examine the CI fight in larger perspective, and smaller. Some participants may be looking at it in terms of their lifetime purpose, while others may only be considering 2009...
