I have no doubt there ARE many who write better. A great book I read is “Imperial Grunts”, where the author tells the stories of US military personnel deployed to everywhere from Ft. Bragg to Mongolia (yes...Mongolia)

The picture he paints of our special forces is highly complimentary. They come across as well rounded individuals, well educated and highly intelligent.

Of course, the libs hate that, because they think only losers who cannot make it in the “outside world” join the military.

Funny, I watched the opening half hour of the John Wayne movie “The Green Berets”, and while the rest of the movie was hackneyed and somewhat cheesy, that first half hour was great, especially where the two NCO’s giving the press briefing put the press corps in their place. I don’t think that was fantasy, either. I would take the intellectual capacity of nearly anyone in our special forces over ANYONE in the media.
