Beyond Band of Brothers

cyrano222

Number one on my list is:
On Combat, by Lt. Col Dave Grossman
This book explains reactions to combat stress situations. A good place to start to understand the mindset necessary to perform under stress, and to help identify critical factors after a stressful event to keep an eye out for to help with some issues that develop.

Great, out of all that material I have only read one. So much for considering myself educated!

I have wasted my life on field manuals and porn.

I mean bible study!!! Embarassed

I do not, but I think I might do some searching this weekend.

But speaking of such things, does anyone out there own a Kindle yet? It is like an electronic book and you can download online books and magazines to it.
