This one was interesting and a surprisingly fast read. It gets into the training and creation of soldiers, how their actions effect (sp?) them and how we seem to be rolling this out to our kids. Now, the pieces on the soldiers was neat and I've liked to see more on the neuropsychology on PTSD and stress, but it educated and could be useful for any author, GM or gamer working on characters that are soldiers. I did not like how it got preachy near the end, but he did bring up points that may need to be considered.
