... down the job as a civilian. Indeed, friends of Mc Master said the hunter and fishermen was looking forward to retirement. Mc Master’s 1997 book, Dereliction of Duty, studies the collapse of civilian-military relations through the prism of the Vietnam War. The book began as his Ph. D. thesis and now has become mandatory reading in foreign policy graduate programs and several US war colleges.

If you’re looking for a challenging, rewarding experience — where you can be part of something bigger than yourself, where you can be part of a team where the man or woman next to you is going to give everything, including their own lives for you — you can’t replicate anywhere else, join the Army.
