I read a book a couple years ago that was interviews of German soldiers that survived D Day. Super interesting and worth a read.

It's hard to imagine being overwhelmed like that, just waves of men and material swarming inland and there's nothing you can do to stop it. All after years of being sold on the superiority of your forces.

Yep. It was never about "equality". The Suffragette Bombers: Britain's Forgotten Terrorists
It was gloomy in writing as well. I read Arkady Babchenko's "One Soldier's War". Great read and firsthand account of the conflicts, but graphic and depressing. I usually had to read a chapter of another book before I turned out the light because I didn't want to keep thinking about it.

Awesome book I found from Reddit was Spearhead.
I read most of the books listed in this thread and this one flew under the radar and is really good. All about tank warfare in the Wester European Front of WW2 from an American and German gunner perspective. Both of whom were in the Battle of Cologne and the two gunners faced each other in a Pershing and Panther tank and their dual was actually filmed by Andy Rooney.
The 2 volume title D Day Through German Eyes is well worth a read. It features the interviews and recollections of German veterans of D Day on the battle's 10th anniversary in 1954.

If you want to know what the Korean military is like, https://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Citizen-Soldier-Story-American-Korean-ebook/dp/B00U3BFF1A reminds me of your situation. It might not be comforting, but if you have a realistic idea of the worst case scenario, it might make things better while you're in it.
They sure did. I'm reading a book right now called "D DAY Through German Eyes - The Hidden Story of June 6th 1944" Amazon link that features lengthy interviews with German soldiers who manned the gun emplacements at Normandy. It's fascinating to read the German perspective of D-Day. The troops were awed by the amassed allied firepower, with ships stretching out to the horizon and a parade of aircraft flying overhead.
D DAY Through German Eyes parts 1 and 2. Incredible read all the way through. Written by a German journalist whose job during the war time was to write propaganda articles for German newspapers. His work brought him behind the lines of the sea wall in Normandy before the D DAY invasion. Years after the war, he tracked down many of the soldiers he interviewed and collected oral histories of their personal experiences during D Day and their feelings about fighting for Germany. He never published these for fear that they would be misconstrued as Nazi propaganda (NOTE: these are anything but Nazi propaganda, but many of the soldiers share a lot of confused and mixed feelings about what their time in the army actually meant). After he died, his son found the manuscripts and had them published. Very interesting look at the war and the invasion from a point of view that's rarely been written about.
Here's a horror story about another gyppo who didn't know he had dual citizenship until it was too late...

This guy needs to understand the "mirror principal" as outlined in the Jim Collins book Good to Great.
If he truly wants to lead, he must take ownership. This is a great book on the topic.
As a destroyerman myself, I highly recommend "Japanese Destroyer Captain" by Tamaichi Hara.
Japanese Destroyer Captain: Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Midway - The Great Naval Battles as Seen Through Japanese Eyes https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CW0T4HQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_70MC1FYMK4GMYXBH527G
He was one of Japan's most successful destroyer commanders in WWII and helped pioneer long range night torpedo tactics before the war.
The obvious book from the American perspective is "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" but that's just one of the best history books period!
>They are not going to throw an American citizen into S Korea Military

You remind me of someone who is unwilling to take personal responsibility. You make extreme analogies regarding being forced to buy bread or go hungry... buddy you don't live in Soviet Russia.... This is America... people literally build boats of trash to leave their hellish situation to get to this place.
You state that you want to know a legal way of getting out of the agreement you freely made. That's a fine question, but you don't seem to be satisfied with any response. You seem to delight in arguing and debating, as if that will change your situation. It won't.
You also seem to enjoy taking the position of the oppressed, and victimized. Stop that. It won't help. You aren't a victim.
I read your profile. You make SUCH GOOD money, that you are no longer able to contribute to a ROTH IRA... Bro... you make more money than me, and many of the other posters in this thread. And yet you still are trying to figure out a way to weasel out of a freely entered into contract.... and now you are saying you are prepared to take a credit hit.
If you do take a credit hit, know this. It will not just hurt your credit, it will haunt you for at least the next 7 years. It will come up every time you try to move into a new place. Heck it is even starting to become a thing with employment. You don't want that. I don't want that for you, or the people you do business with.
Additionally, you are looking into buying a 4-plex. Brother, I wish you the best of luck with such endeavors. Once YOU have the problem of the Landlord, I do believe you will change your tone rather quickly. And I believe you'll be able to see things from an emotionally and financially different perspective.
Here is a book recommendation: Extreme Ownership - Jocko Willink.
https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs-ebook/dp/B0739PYQSS
Just for fun, how much responsibility (on average) do you take when your company, your country, your children, your friends, etc fuck up?
It's typical now to blame others and not take any responsibility. but guess what, if you are russian, your daily work via taxes is funding this war, it's russians attacking ukranians, I could go on and on, so of course you can frame it like "poor russians against the war, they cannot do anything", I say BS, they could have done a million things and they still can,
Here's a book for little bitches, idk, maybe it changes your perspective

> To be honest a chemical weapons using locally source materials through the ventilation system would do more harm than a few expensive MANPADS.
I'm not sure that's realistic. You need quite a large volume of precursors to make enough gas to incapacitate, plus it takes some time, heat, and stirring to mix binary agents in your chosen reaction vessel so they react. Vil Mirzayanov covers a lot of the mechanics of the process in his book "State Secrets: An Insider's Chronicle of the Russian Chemical Weapons Program"
And remember the cockpit has it's own air system.
If you insist, but I really doubted you'd need a citation. I wouldn't make that outlandish of a claim with such conviction if there wasn't some basis to it.
Has Elliott Rodgers actually ever claimed to be an MRA, or pro men's equality? As far as I'm concerned, it's mostly feminists trying to make leaps and stretches to link him to the movement.
I'm not "tarring" your movement by pointing to a couple of terrorists. If I wanted to "tar" feminism, there are far more effective examples to use as ammunition. But I take issue with you declaring to be a first and second wave feminist as if they were:
1) Better than their future counterparts. To me they are not.
2) A perfect representation of what you think feminism is.
I don't care what you believe feminism to be at the moment. But I'm troubled by the constant misinformation being spread that paints the suffragettes and second-wave feminists as saints. They are far from and I argue that they and their ideologies at the time are far worse than third wave and fourth wave feminism. At least the latter, most of time, does not act on their incessant hatred of men.
The captain of the cruiser Yahagi, Captain Tameichi Hara, beat the odds and survived the war. His memoirs Japanese Destroyer Captain are an excellent read and glance into a side of the war most westerners don't hear about.
Not really sure about US Navy, but there are quite a few on the Japanese Navy that could be turned into a mini-series.
Japanese Destroyer Captain comes to mind for me - https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Destroyer-Captain-Tameichi-Hara-ebook/dp/B00CW0T4HQ
Start with the premise that everything is your fault, use hindsight to figure out what you should have done to prevent the bad situation, then change your current actions to prevent a similar situation from occurring in the future
You say that the relationship with management matters more than whatever other factors you think you are superior in? Good, now you know what to work on.'
Deal with the situation on the ground as it is, instead of whining about how you wish it was.
There is a book about it where British veterans give their perspectives on what they fought for and if it was worth it but I can't remember any statistics in it.
Buy this guy's book:
https://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Citizen-Soldier-Story-American-Korean-ebook/dp/B00U3BFF1A
Essentially he's a Gyopo who works as an English teacher, gets snagged by the MMA, attempts to get out by enlisting in the US Army and, right as he's getting shipped out via Osan, he hits the Korean immigration exit controls at Osan and gets caught and serves the full two years.
This book (if accurate) paints the nightmare scene of panzers in the East. https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Tracks-Classic-Panzer-Memoir-ebook/dp/B00UASW4GK/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1492711632&sr=1-2&keywords=Panzer
Interesting... Thank you for that insight. Have you read Tiger Tracks by Wolfgang Faust?
I read a few interesting books, translated from German, from the POV of Germans on D-Day. They most interesting takeaway was the belief that America wouldn't attack Germany and also the disbelief that we wouldn't join them in attacking Russia. Of course, they were being fed propaganda by the government and follow up interviews show that they felt betrayed by their government.
>The general gist of this statement pretty much agrees that an immobile Abrams took some hostile fire and survived.
Which is the only thing that is true, the rest is made up flavour details straight from Tom Clancy's imagination. It reads a lot like that bogus Tiger Tank memoir.
>I've encountered it myself, reading about (non-military) events that I took part in. To expect anything else, or be surprised or outraged is naive.
I guess you have never encountered competently written history and have only ever read yellow journalism. Hence you have no familiarity with the means by which historical accuracy is pursued. Why else would someone seriously quote Tom Clancy for anything but his novels.
They should give some books to read to those kids about how Russia waged war in Chechnya. Like this one http://www.amazon.com/One-Soldiers-War-Arkady-Babchenko-ebook/dp/B008RZK5L4
Explains very well why Russian army is such an utter failure and why its not worth considering as a formidable threat in the world.
