Yea, he's right, though I suspect even Junger didn't really think about it in those terms because as "inside" as he was, he still was not part of the platoon and didn't have the same knowledge.Denesteakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085671501819956159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9770352157004632.post-13011349974326875942011-05-26T14:31:54.849-04:002011-05-26T14:31:54.849-04:00My battalion commander brought this book up today ...My battalion commander brought this book up today because he wants to use it for leader development once we return from Iraq, and I immediately thought of you.
