From Here To Eternity. James Jones's 1951 classic is as much an insider's view of what's wrong with today's military establishment as observed by Sergeant Jones writing in the late '40s, early '50s.

Since Jones published his fictionalized first hand accounts, only two army generals have suffered court-martial punishment. Only two!

No Navy or Coast Guard admirals, and no Air Force generals, and again--only two Army generals--have stood in the docket despite numerous publicly and recently revealed episodes of criminal conduct.
