I liked some of the truth telling info in the intro but it was a bit too nationalistic and religeous for me as well. Bo is supposedly the most decorated special forces commander and he has experience in intel. I was hoping I could get some insight from any readers of Bo's work as to how reliable he is for info. Being from the military and intel, Im not sure if this info could be trusted; Disinformation? If you havent read the book but have read some of Bo's other material, I would be interested in your opinion as to his reliability regarding the truth?

thanks very much<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"I just purchased the book, Called To Serve, by James \"Bo\" Gritz.

In the early nineties when I was trying to find a way to understand a politic outside of my suburban liberal Jewish upbringing, this was a very brief flirtation with a connection to the great American populist tradition as funneled through party politics. I quickly realized that this espoused by this demigog was only for white xenophobic hets, and that made me make sure I got off thier populist party mailing list.","author":"urpil adamp","parent_id":15463,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-03-12 06:03:54","modified":"2002-03-12 06:17:05","fileurl":""}]}
