Politics = war.



Excellent study of war purposes. And specifics about the types and methods we will see when the worst perpetrators of homicide and torturous mass assaults/ genocides are not nation-states but fluid organizations etc.



Much of it after the first half was over my head. He is brilliant and connects all these specifics to past war "instructions" and the theories of onus.



His family history is so specific and telling it and its aftermaths, you certainly understand the "eyes" of his mili

The biographies included were all of aspects or people that I had heard their names but had no idea of the stretch of their real life actions and how many outcomes were changed by those actions. Especially Chesty!



If you are of the persuasion that we will all just hold hands and "get along" someday, and can imagine no tribes, no nation states, no self-identities, or no cultural or religious dictates differences and that all finite goods will or are possibly able in any homo sapiens constructions to be evenly distributed- then this book is not for you. Nor if you think the Leftist Socialist or Communist governmental authoritarian constructs are the "answer".



It's a bit dated in parts and it's also too individually experienced to be widely understood (despite his clear graphics) by the cozy, safe, and protected. Nearly anywhere at that, not just American citizens. And it lacks in one central core feature to encompass the title surety as a whole piece "quantity" (he should give that mindset to "defense" as it is called now, to define it by its newer name)- that's where it lost the star. His writing is clear and precise. But he needed to dig into "the will" that is lacking presently in what used to be called "defense" and "protective identity".



But it's an excellent book regardless. His Dad and his Grandfather after all they went through- if they were still alive; they would be so proud. Why are not the stories of Eastern Europe from the last century from Hungary or Poland or Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia etc. in particular (like his folks) or any of the real Stalin outcomes so glossed over in our current "history" or literature or movies or any number of "art" memorials? Millions and millions killed and tortured and starved for "incorrectness". STILL are.



Gorka mentions Zinn (among several others) by name- and all the pure propaganda of outcome deceptions (both positive and negative omissions in particular which tilts the real time progressions/ advancements for the reality of the actual past) that are being taught to our children. And he centers too on the "hearts and minds" values of our common American culture. What, who and why attempts for the "hearts and minds" overthrow purposes in particular. And how that has recently worked out for them.
