Spectacular, like Webb's writing in general.
Aside from the classic Vietnam novel Fields of Fire, I read another really good book of his about West Point.
I don't feel as optimistic right now though, as he did in 1997. I guess we are going through another "tough patch" right now. I still believe in the inherent strength of the American people, though the enemy within has strengthened since the 60's, not weakened as it appeared they were in the 90's. But our knowlege of them is increasing also, and that is our great weapon.
I would lay the blame for about 15-20k of those 58k+ deaths squarlery at the feet of the anti war group of kerry snd ramsey clark. And let us never forget the contrubtion of walter cronkite. Of which he has proudley taken credit recently. If you doubt meread somew of ho's own statements.I also hate the slimey nogood scummy tratirous bitch fonda.
