@jmm99

you said it "Ethics and Law -- Yuck." This is definitely not an area of interest for me. But, because I am not as interested in it I probably don't read about it enough so I will definitely add "Preparing the Strategic Sergeant for War in a Flat World: Challenges in the Application of Ethics and and the Rules of Engagement (ROE)"

Somewhat tangentially, have you (or anyone) read "One For All: The Logic of Group Conflict" by Russell Hardin?
