5.0 out of 5 stars A Most Relevant Book July 10, 2010 
By Erroll 
In his book former Green Beret Donald Duncan describes the idiocy of military life which recalls what I had gone through during the Vietnam conflict. The former Master Sergeant describes the flawed foreign policy of the United States which attempted to somehow bring democracy to the Vietnamese at the point of a gun. As Duncan notes throughout his book, the counterinsurgency strategy that the U.S. employed was never in danger of succeeding as the Vietnamese guerrillas were always going to resist being taken over either by the United States military or by the corrupt forces of the ARVN.

It has become very obvious that the United States is now utilizing the same imperialistic thinking in the Middle East which was first carried out by a Republican president and now by a Democratic one. As in Vietnam the freedom fighters in countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq will never rest until the invading armies of the United States and NATO are finally driven from their soil.
