MILITARY LEADERSHIP
This is submitted from my perspective of two combat tours and 24 years active duty service. Assignment as a District Advisor north of Hue, and combat company commander in the First Cav. This is a must read to understand the ethos of Vietnam, with the leadership afterward having been shaped by it. The policies originating at Presidential level made body-count the only measure of success, which inescapably led to Mai Lai with the destruction of good order and discipline.
