What is your opinion on the jack ryan series? I really liked the commander in chief one written by Mark Greaney. Which by the way should be the only one doing those books from now on. He really seems knowledgeable and it felt like Tom Clancy could have written it.
Every time I try to read one I just get that Ryan is a massive wish-fulfilling self insertion by Clancy

Why did Clancy never enlist? He is really knowledgable, at least for me it seems so on military things. So why didn't he pursue a career in it

Terrible eyesight.

Ah. That's sad for him. Well then i suppose his books is self insert in some way. But he does his research and try to respect the real thing i suppose

Don't forget the staunch Catholic part.

Tom Clancy always got little things like that incorrect, very jarring for otherwise serious books. Shit got worse as he got older. The new books are his in name only, and in some ways that's a good thing.
Red Storm Rising was the only book of his I liked, and it's also the greatest WWIII book ever written
obligatory: Starship Troopers

The most important book any operator could ever read is "One Second After". This is the bible for all of us as far as what we will face in our lives.
