Congressional book at the same time. The book has a premise about whats happened to personnel policy with the general officers since the time of world war ii with general marshall as the chief of staff through today where we used to fire general officers for incompetence. We really havent done that in the last 15 or 20 years since vietnam even further back and so it talks about what that means for the military learning its lessons when you are replacing people at the top quickly based on their performance of the organization learns faster and its what we need to d do not justify airing officers but to continue to learn and grow as a military organization because they need tweneed to fight and e countrys war. So that thats a military bookm reading. Im reading a book at home, its a pretty popular book by jd fans whos moved into my district recently and it describes the plight of many of the people in my district in rural ohio on a suburban anthesuburban and rurae going through, but it also helps us build empathy and ideas of how we can help serve peopl coue and especially the forgotten man thats out there that needs help and needs a leg up. So im reading that and i think its appropriate for many parts of the midwest and south and there are many families going through a lot of things and it helps us understand whats going on out there. Im also reading a book called destined for war is on my nightstand that talks about the american chinese relationship and how we can choose a path other than war, and hopefully we will. And thats the coming clash over the next 20 years is a clash between the United States and china as china rises and the United States being the only superpower in the world right now the clash that has happened historically and how we can avoid that kind of clash. So im reading that to try to bury my books on a lot of topics because we are expected to know and do a lot of things. I also frequently refer to the federalist papers. I have a copy i look at pretty much every day because it is important to keep in mind and the ideatheideas and the checksd balances that are set up. The system is very elegant but it also is set up for a reason and i try to think about that as we make choices here to make sure in the future we have the right path for the future of the country and prosperity.
