Quite a few books that teach you to be critical of prematurely proclaiming victory and of supporting actions just because they're American.

Are you high? The US has the Mississippi/Missouri/Ohio which covers like half the entire country. Then you have the Colorado, the Rio Grande, and the Columbia which are all pretty neat rivers. None of the European rivers even compare to the Mississippi/Missouri/Ohio. The only rivers that even come close are the Danube and the Volga.

It's part of the Columbia complex so I didn't mention it by name. I went to Wazzu though so I have more than a passing familiarity with it. Clark Fork is also pretty neat,

SMC and Academies are just like any other liberal arts college only with uniforms and extra coursework that focuses more on building ethics and how a strategic mind should work. West point has a hard on for Clausewitz. Unless you're majoring in history you don't really study ancient conquerors that much unless on your free time. Besides that you learn small unit tactics so you're not a complete retard as an LT. You don't learn any modern how to run a battalion type shit until you're selected for LTC and command/staff schools.
