I have read the book simultaneously with Nathaniel Fick's book to get two versions and styles. Funny thing, Fick's story about a picture in a news outlet changes: sometimes it's his girlfriend, and sometimes it's his mom who tells him something along the lines of "Thank god you're not involved in that" about a photograph of Marines going on a mission to Pakistan.

>how the individuals within those groups behave and why that are very pertinent to tech and management in general.

One anecdote is Staff Sergeant Eric Kocher talking about Gunnery Sgt. Ray 'Casey Kasem' Griego being a nightmare when he was helping "Encino Man", but great when his job was training them for the second tour. This is a reminder that a person in different contexts can act differently and have different "performances". Similar to "Wartime Churchill vs. Peacetime PM Churchill"
