Jim,
You are 100 % correct about the book "Brute" General Krulak was a Marine's Marine. I highly rec ommend the book to all Marines. Also I have a {Much used} copy of "Message to Garcia." It is a thin paperback with a great message. I have loaned it to people I worked with in the past who had a "Sorry or non-existent work ethic." Sometimes it actually worked!
