So I just finished David Hackworth's book, "About Face".
Very good stuff. Even though the last 200 pages or so were a really hard read since they deal with the time that he lost his 'love' for the Army.
Now some people hate the military. Others are ok with it but only as long as it doesn't effect them. Some like it enough to serve for a couple of years, and then leave.
But it is a pretty rare person that truely loves the Army. He was one of them. And slowly he lost that love.
In a way it is romance where at the end one person just says, "You're not who you used to be, and I'm leaving you."

I've always ackowledged that the position America occupies on the global stage is probably the toughest. You're the international hero, the dreamers, the doers, the money makers... and the flip side is just as broad in terms. Tough stuff.
