About Clancy....

Yeah I'm comfortable. He has written a series of nonfiction books, of which Airborne is one. He and his researcher have been embedded with military units before that term came into use. (The non-fiction books were all written in the 90's)

In regards to bias.... Clancy has called the Pentagon one of the most useless job programs in history. In the Airborne book he called the Army and Pentagon top brass idiotic for cancelling the XM8 light Tank and then called the decision to retire the Sheridan lunacy. I trust him to be honest and tell things how they are.
