Well I've got Col. Hunt's book, and I've finished reading about half of it so far, but I can't recommend it.
He really doesn't tell you anything the average freeper doesn't know already. And frankly, I'm not real impressed with people who get on their horses to tell politicians what they ought to do without ever broaching how they are suppose to do it without being swallowed by their opposition.
I'd have a whole lot more respect for such criticism if Col. Hunt suggested to any Red-Blooded American who happens to be related to Norman Minetta "call him up, and tell him what a moron he is," than his easy bitching about little old ladies getting frisked on their flight to Albuquerque.
"Well I've got Col. Hunt's book, and I've finished reading about half of it so far, but I can't recommend it."
Well .. you're entitled to your opinion.
I read about a lot of things that I didn't have any previous knowledge about. And .. while a lot of FReepers may know a lot more than the general public knows .. I'd say Col Hunt's book is going to STUN a lot of people. Just because you know - don't assume everybody else knows too.
And .. even if I may disagree with some of the things the Col says .. I try to understand why he feels the way he does. For people who've never been through the military training Col Hunt has .. I can see why he feels so frustrated. He's a military person and he sees military solutions to situations - and reality says that military solutions are not always the answer to everything.
You should take it for what it is - NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE. It won't agree with our thinking - and that's what I like about it - it challenges how I look at things vs. how the Col looks at things. I think that's good .. not bad.
Oh yeah .. have you called Norman Minetta yet ..??
