Yes a good number of us have read SGM's book.

If you have questions concerning his work why not ask him yourself, he is a member of ProfessionalSoldiers.com.

Dennis, read the book again and tell me the Vietnam and Afghanistan parts were lacking. I have read it three times and I have to tell you, there are no "slim" parts to the book.

Seriously, read it again.

Now i'm trying to remember how much detail I put in my public profile. If I hear anyone running by my house between 1 - 5 am, I'm going to freak out.

I have a "new" copy of "Hunting the Jackal arrived today via Amazon books and it's autographed by SM (Ret) Waugh, albeit not to me, has a business card as well. I’m just surprised, as the book seems unread (no binding memory) and new.


I picked resurrection of an old thread as less evil than beginning a new thread, on reflection probably less evil might have been no post.

Looking forward to the reading.
