Just about finished with"Thunder Run",the story of the 2nd Brigade/3rd Infantry Div.(Mechanized).Written by David Zucchino.
All about the armored thrust into Baghdad in 2003.Well written,action packed by a reporter that was there,not sitting in some hotel making shit up.
Great read.

Agent of Destiny
The Life and Times of
GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT
By John S.D. Eisenhower

I am also reading a few other books but none of any great interest.

The books I just finished:

Heretic by Richard Cornwell
Going Postal by Terry Pratchet
Something about a world war 2 submarine by some guy.
The latest Marine story by WEB Griffin.


One of my neighbors is a retired collage professor (literature) and he gets all of my action adventure (war) books so it is hard to remember the titles.

Airborne do something naughty:disband Airborne!
You know a country's f**ked up when American liberals start moving there....The Peoples Republic of Canada......
