Have you written a couple of books on leadership? currently writing one? I assumed you were writing fiction, but ...? No, I started one but never completed it. I do lecture and have had some success in that arena.
Speaking of lies, was there/is there any training done involving lying? I'm thinking of a couple scenarios: cover stories, survival tactics, passing polygraphs, etc. I imagine that being a good liar would be a necessary skill. And what about training for psychological warfare? I worked quite a bit in PSYOPS and wrote the Navy PSYOP Strategy for the Global war on terror---the crux of both PSYOP and "Lie training" is to put yourself into a position to tell the truth---so, for instance--when we were running the cover story to get boats onto the Helmand River in Afg--we built one around actual events and followed through--the point being is that you don't want to have to remeber lies or create facts. PYSOP is not about creating a fictional reality--it is about creating a beneficial perception of the facts
