I just wanted to say that i liked the scout hovercraft .';

'A collection of three first-person accounts of Sierra Leone, Chechnya (during the second war) and Bougainville. I'm in the middle of the Chechnya part and it's a dark comedy road trip with a day-by-day account of getting into the country while being escorted by a Mos Eisley tier group of Chechen mafia wearing tracksuits and leather jackets, a half-dozen very mean-looking Chechen... hockey players (which they told Georgian customs... yeah), journalists, a nutty American evangelical who is going to fight, and an American mujahid Bosnia war veteran with a prosthetic leg who is going there to be martyred. Focuses a lot on just the travel logistics, who you have to pay, meet, and what it's like to kill time in dingy hotels full of Chechens in Georgia, and other strange characters who are along for the ride. I think he meets Basayev later in Grozny during the siege but I haven't read that far yet.

Russians were bombing everything including inside Georgia to prevent people from clearing the snow off the road into Chechnya, and also setting up traps on their side of the Chechen border to hand reporters and aid workers over to gangsters to shoot them. Also nailing markets in Grozny with Scud missiles and slaughtering hundreds of people.

It's not in the story, but I have a hunch the author was basically freelancing for the CIA using journalistic cover, which is why nobody in these countries ever shot him (that'd be a bad idea). His book "The World's Most Dangerous Places" was popular with the CIA. The mujahid actually had a CIA handler who recommended that book to him, so he sought Pelton out, but he apparently told the agency to go fuck themselves. He wanted to die there and then have Pelton pull his wife and kids out, but by the time they were in Georgia, they learned they had already made it out, so the mujahid bailed on them. This is the guy, later spent time in prison in Mexico for bounty hunting and died of sepsis:

>East Germans and Polish units in the front line who rebelled on the first day
doubt.jpg
Yeah sure Eastern Block cuntries had little love for the basedviets but, from what I've seen, soldiers more or less always do as they are told. Case and point, all those East Germans that got shot by their own border guards when they tried to make a break for it. The idea of a revolt by PACT forces is probably nothing more than a western cope. At most they'll just sit inside their own barracks.';

Interesting story of a former marine who volunteers for the IRA and witnesses the retardation happening within it. Any fuddlore you could think of was believed by ira members, but this was before the internet so.

Turns out the south armagh brigade was the only competent unit in the whole resistance and was willing to learn new ideas. Also interestingly crawley dealt with whitey bulger during his reign, who was sympathetic to the ira but was also a psycho.';

I love in Loyd’s book the little vignettes he writes on heroin in between the main sections of the book where he basically reminisces on the experience of having PTSD stream of consciousness style, yes it’s all very good the way his mind races back and forth between peace and then war pops in over and over.

gud recommendations, anon.
if you niggas are reading With the Old Breed, you ought to read another Pacific classic: Helmet for My Pillow. The 'other' book that the HBO miniseries was based off of.
Robert Leckie has great prose and really gets gritty and detailed with descriptions of how fucking shitty the life of a combat Marine was in WW2.';

'Short book but "Paris Theodore: Wardog" is a great look into the inventor of the ASP pistol and a lot of modern carry handgun tactics. Prior to becoming a weapons manufacturer for various intelligence agencies he worked abroad for a lot of clandestine services. Pretty interesting guy.

'Just finished this audiobook yesterday. One of the best memoirs I've read. The author compiled stories from himself and a bunch of other RN commando helo pilots during the war. He does a really good job of placing those accounts into the overall context of the war and a good amount of detail with helicopter flying and their operations.
It covers pretty much every phase of the war, from the recapture of New Georgia, the rushed formation of the invasion task group, the air and naval battles and the main offensive on the islands themselves. Highly recommended';

'Just finished Tigers in the Mud, the memoir of the tiger tank commander Otto Carius. It was pretty good, and Carius had a good sense of humor. Kramer from Seinfeld also makes a cameo as his gunner and shoots down a Russian plane with their BFG.

Going several thousand years into the past, Scipio Africanus: Greater than Napoleon by Liddel Hart. A really good account of the campaigns of Rome's greatest general and statesman.';

'Picrel is great because the subject was a wild weasel running f105 SEAD raids in Vietnam and then he climbed the ranks in USAF until he was commander of desert storm. Really gives a broad Birds Eye view of how the military works from bombs to diplomacy';

I'd recommend Ralph Peter's Red Army for another Cold War Gone Hot book, but for doctrine nerds as opposed to the tech focus in RSR.
Sure, the premise might seem absurd now given zigger showings, but imho it's a pretty good book overall and still one of the better depictions of combined arms put to text when it comes to balancing autism with readability.';
