I had a military instructor at the boat school who almost got relieved because he invited James Webb and Dick Marcinko to speak there. Webb's stance on women in the military doesn't make him popular at the politically correct institution, and Marcinko... Well, the usna not liking him is kind of a given.
I've read nearly all James Webb's books, and I've even read one or two of Marcinko's. Great reading, for recreation or otherwise, and both of those men can DRINK.
James Webb was the guest of honor at our TBS mess night, and he stayed there drinking until like 3am. And since no one can leave before the guest of honor... He drank the Col. under the table, too. I also made the mistake of being in the wrong place at the wrong time out in annapolis one night when Dick Marcinko was in town. I don't really remember much after, "Hey Jarhead!! Get the fvck over here!" I hear it was a blast though.
