I'm about half-way through the thesis, and I am even more convinced that it deserves to be published. I think the idea of including some soldier-specific material is a good one. Let me know if I can help.

By the way, you are an extremely talented writer. I was under the impression that schools quit teaching grammar after I graduated (at least it appeared that way to me when I read reports written by the younger troops before I retired), but you must have had a good old-fashioned teacher somewhere along the way. Your writing skills are far above today's norm.
