Book Review: "The Cost Of Loyalty" By Tim Bakken

“The system is specifically designed so that the victim, whether cadet, soldier, or officer, has no recourse,” Bakken says.

The conditions for individual and organizational failure are pervasive inside the military: loyalty over truth; isolation; censorship; control over everyone; manipulation of the media; narcissism; retaliation; and callousness.”


However, this is only the beginning as West Point has its own personal issues and cover ups.
Take the fact that they claim only 9% accepted applicants yet anyone who asks for a pamphlet is accepted .“


It reminds me of the Girls Gone Wild except this has man at the helm doing whatever they choose to do and not dealing with the consequences of their sexual assault crimes.
A silence exists among the higher ranks and anyone who speaks out against such corruption especially whistle blowers are smeared and fired.


This book had every imaginable scenario but it's not surprising considering they are so brazen as to do the white power symbols on live football airings and this was just two weeks ago.

Money, power, control and lack of oversight and transparency leads to this nonsense in which a 'certain class' feel above the law.

The checks and balances need to be in place to prevent such abuse of power and sadly they are not!


A great eye opener into the COST OF LOYALTY especially within the days and nights of narcissism
