What's your beef with Clancy anyway? Why disparage him? He's obviously one of the most expert military minds in the world after 40 years of doing what he does. Why would you even BS us by denying that? Have you read his military books?
To quote the great Ronald Reagan, "there you go again."
Now, before you accuse me of trashing Tom Clancy, let me say, he's a prolific writer of well-researched books, some of which are quite good reading.
Now, let's look at your statement.
He's "one of the most expert military minds."
He's a freaking author AS. And before that, he was an insurance broker.
after 40 years of doing what he does
Let's see here, Tom Clancy was born in 1947. That would make him what? 56? 57?
Are you saying he's been writing since he was 16 or 17? Give it up, man, give it up.
Fact is, dearest Kerry Spirit, Tom Clancy's first book was Red Storm Rising, published in 1984, followed by Patriot Games in 1987.
That would be what? 20 years ago?
People who are inaccurate about little things like this call into question their credibility on other, more important points. You might want to keep that in mind. |
