It's a good book yes, but I think the scope of questions should have also been limited or expanded to the enlisted, rather than just commissioned officers. While yes, officers command the units, the scope and breadth of the enlisted should never be underestimated. Maybe because I came from an enlisted background that colors my opinion so far, but it doesn't detract from the book. The book as is however, is only marred by poor graphics, oriented the wrong way and you have to move your head to read it effectively. It's worth the read for you to draw your own conclusions, but I say that while it was limited in scope, it does show what the force is looking at, and with Trump 2.0, it remains to be seen how much politicization will actually come from the military right now. 4 out of 5 stars.
