Hazardous Duty

Will the United States Armed Forces be able to live up to the requirements of the Mutual Defense Treaty it has with the Philippines (if it is allowed to by its civilian authority)?

Read about how the US military did in the Gulf War from someone who was in Korea and Vietnam. Col. David H. Hackworth US Army (Ret.), well known by some as the gadfly of the US Armed Forces excesses and hardheadedness. And yet, also a firm believer in the individual American fighting man’s abilities.

I enjoyed his reporting of the Desert Storm in his book "Hazardous Duty." It is a view from the other side of the curtain of the media’s coverage of the Gulf War, and an adventure in itself.
