[Fwd: Re: All Bets Off]
I just got passed this, don't know the context, nor the thread. Clancy was NOT a Navy captain. He does tons of research for his books....his advisor IS a retired Navy Captain named J.M. Rodgers. How do I know? I also use Captain Rodgers as a consultant, AND, I e-mail with Clancy a couple or three times a week. BTW: I'm a retired U.S. Navy Chief Journalist. HTH.

Tom Clancy is not a military-hired brain, but to make his novels
realistic and
to do justice to the people he portrays, he does a LOT of research. He is a highly respected author, and I have no doubt that his statement is based on his personal findings, collected for a previous novel.
I beleive he was also a Capain in the Navy...
