Can you give some examples of what they didn't teach?  What is the gist of the book, I'm interested.

Actually more trivial details.

Things like Pheonix city Al. was set up as a prostitution and party town to support fort benning.

The documented kind of torture our troops endured at the hands of the japs.

The complete history of canned rations.

Really neat stuff. Yes there was some stuff about Macarthur being a moron. And if what is written there is true. He may well have been. It also seems like he was an intense mama's boy. Not that that may be a bad thing.
