Norton Glover started reading The Perfect War by James William Gibson
About halfway through so far. It's focused so far on the technological-minded delusions of the US military and civilian government while fighting the Vietnam war. Much of it is familiar territory (body counts, fragging, & five o'clock follies ), but there are some interesting details, and it's good to see it all assembled together.
It's fascinating how much of the thinking of the military bureaucracy resembled the modern corporate mindset, with an obsession with somewhat useless metrics.
