Tim Yearneau's Reviews > First Platoon: A Story of Modern War in the Age of Identity Dominance

A mind blowing book that takes a deep dive into biometrics and how the US Military applied it to Afghanistan. First Platoon is the main character in this look into the profanity that is war. And they got screwed. In every which way. Ironically, we've basically lost this war using high tech methods to a foe using low tech methods. Jacobsen does an amazing job pulling pieces from multiple sources and weaves it into fine tuned whole. Sure to evoke thought and emotion and opinion, I couldn't put this one down. Very simply, eye opening.
