    Colonel,

    Thanks.

    Two small works of science fiction; "A Small Colonial War" and "Fire in a Far Away Place" by Robert Frezza. Once you get past the premise, you will be hooked.

    Just found this on the net The National Academies Press, thought it might be worth checking out. I really like the read online for free option. They have some interesting titles here.

    I have heard good things about Jerry Pournelle's series "The Prince" and I have to say the book is an excellent read.

    On Killing...

    Amazon.com: On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society (9780316330114): Dave Grossman: Books

    A 'must read', in my opinion, for anyone on active duty, retired, or even contemplating military service.
