Well written, earnest
p43 from his Dad “Don’t just start over; keep starting over.”
p55 good platoon leader needs to be creative, an independent thinker, imaginative
p59 caveat to above—these are nothing without ‘practice,practice,practice’
p58 Prussian-derived approach to leadership—officers given intent of mission and guidance but up to individual to use their training, skill and instinct to figure out out to complete mission.
p82 learned in Iraq: discipline and professionalism demand doing everything to serve the mission. Can’t let your guard down. Can’t make it personal.
p88 development of moral compass and courage learned from fellow soldiers in Iraq
p89 “...having a compass with a needle that can swing only due north or due south—pretty useless for navigation. And navigation is everything, because without sensitivity to your immediate situation, there can be no real morality.”
p07 use of hybrid war. Nonlinear combat with conventional warfare with cyberwarfare, fake news, election intervention, insincere diplomacy and electronic warfare.
p165/7 be aware of your surroundings. “The absence of the normal and the presence of the abnormal.”
