Reply #10: He's a doofus [View All]

I enjoyed the first few of his books that I read, though they can be stultifying in their density (good thing I'm interested in some of the hardware of war, I guess). I think it was the one that had a jet smacking into the White House or Capitol that turned me off once and for all - he threw in some transparent jabs at Clinton and revealed himself for the wimpy right-winger that he really is.

Combine that with his chickenhawk braying and paramilitary dress sense - he's upstaged in his role as military poseur only by the crotch-stuffing simian himself - and it's enough to put me off his books. They were never really that great and I think they got worse as he cranked more out.
