"To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought..."

G. Takamatsu's Book Review:

An American Soldier by Tommy Franks

I found this an interesting autobiography: the author has lived an interesting life. He was a goofball when he graduated from High School and entered college at the University of Texas, Austin. After a poor performance at the school, he decided to enlist in the Army. He qualified for cryptography school, but found that was not his interest, in other words not real soldiering. He eventually qualified for OCS and became an officer, specifically a second lieutenant. He served in Vietnam and was wounded three times. He received a serious enough injury to be put in the hospital. So it looks like a legitimate wound not a "John Kerry wound" which could be fixed with a band aid.

[As an aside, I think the swift boat captains should be allowed to express their views. These people where there. Why shouldn't they be allowed to say what they think?].
