Özet

Colonel David H. Hackworth—one of America's most decorated soldiers—served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. After retiring from the military in 1971, he completed a second tour of battlefield duty as a war correspondent. Accompanying our nation's fighting men and women to the Persian Gulf, Bosnia, Somalia, Korea, and Haiti, what he learned was shocking: high-level military incompetence, futility, and corruption.

Hazardous Duty is a necessary wake-up call for military reform—a no-holds-barred, no-punches-pulled exposé that calls America's top political and military leaders to account for selling out duty, honor, and country. A riveting, real-life adventure, this works also tells of courageous warriors on the world's new battlefields—and offers solutions to problems that must be addressed if our nation is to remain the foremost military power in a volatile and ever-changing world.

This should be a source of information and guidance to politicians who can rise above the pork-barreling in defence spending. Efficiency improves with necessity. US military has however been compromised by decades of inefficiency, politics, and grown fat on being funded at high levels. Now China can make new equipment much more efficiently. So US must rely on its long history of motivated warriors, and technical research. The focus needs to shift to these elements. David Hackworth raises many such troubling concerns. Hopefully someone is listening who can improve things; including his readers.

An important insight into US military capabilities, politics, effectiveness.
