Tias posted:Seeing as Matterhorn was already posted It’s good to read both because you get the perspective of both the squad level and the platoon/company level at the same time, and Fick was one of the most liked officers

Extreme ownership can be summed up in “just pretend you have full responsibility for everything that happens around you” which is all right but not really worth a whole book.

The book is much much much broader in scope but Ghost Wars by Steve Coll is great. My “senior project” in high school was a huge research paper about the aftermath of the Soviet-Afghan war and that book made it so much easier. Also now that I’ve stated reading abotut more current events in Afghanistan I get to be constantly horrified every time I recognize a name that we basically hired on almost all of the most corrupt and vicious warlords to be part of the national government except maybe Hekmatyar but we let him in anyway years after a deal. So that’s cool.
