Well, I just finished the book, and the ending was rather disappointing. The Battle of Hop was interesting, but that's the only part of the later chapters that stood out. It basically went from regrouping to mopping the continent up. Once the military changed tactics, it was a completely one-sided slaughter, or at least it felt that way.
Brooks' poor research and plays to stereotypes show up again. He suggests that the French were willing to sacrifice 15000 lives unnecessarily because they were tired of surrendering. He also suggests that Americans were more successful survivors because of their "individualist nature". Geeze...
America would have a decided advantage with their gun culture. I wonder how many guys there are out there with their lmini armoury as seen seen in the film "Tremors"
Lol that's true, haven't considered that.
The gun culture in the US is overrated. Many people in a whole plethora of countries have guns, it's just that Americans like to point it out more, and use it against their fellow man more (at least these statistics are more prominent in the media). It's not like guns are unusual.
PS: Before I get a lot of flak for this, I'm thinking purely in civilian cases.
