I have just finished reading Col. David Hackworth's new book "About Face",
and was wondering what others on the net thought about it.

I found the book interesting.  Hackworth seems to always be a maverick, never
conforming to the rules of the Army, but always getting the job done.
Particularly interesting is that not only does he criticize the Army for
its many faults, but offers, in the last chapter, some constructive changes.

The one I found interesting was his suggestion that West Point select part of
each class from deserving enlisted men.  Comments?
