For the most part, they have avoided both the military jargon that sanitizes insanity and the tired, violent rhetoric of destruction. Though the book's voice is somewhat anonymous (an inevitable result of group writing) occasionally lapses into obfuscation (kill capability, unacceptable damage and soft-skinned targets), it generally speaks plainly and directly, a welcome...
