Reviews
“A must-read for any military leader serving today regardless of rank. This book exposes the impacts of poorly crafted policy, legislation and local Command policies and how they have had an oversized effect on an all-volunteer force—Corie speaks truth to power which leaders should heed the warnings. [It] should be mandatory reading for anyone going into Battalion or Brigade Command (or other service equivalent), General Officers, DOD political appointees and Members of Congress and their professional staffs.”
“No one has greater insight into what’s really happening and the challenges they face than does Corie Weathers. If you are currently serving, have served, or care about those who do, this book is worthy reading to help better understand the trials and complexities of our most precious resource in national security.”
“Military Culture Shift is a phenomenal study of a vital segment of our society caught in the midst of generational change, reeling from two decades of war, and facing down the greatest threat to our national security in more than three decades.”
“Ms. Weathers’s book provides invaluable insight into understanding American military culture. The problem is not the warrior, it is society. Her project is a Herculean task, but Ms. Weathers provides us with the essential way forward—which is one our entire society must take together.”
“… professional and personal, often eloquent, and always clear—especially given subject matter such as sequestration. … Weathers uncomplicates things. … a nuanced, empathetic explanation of how we got to this point, what we can learn from being here, and how we can use the opportunity to improve. The message is dire but the delivery is soothing.”
