From March through November 2004 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Major Bill Adler served on a 10-man advisor support team (AST) made up of personnel from the Grizzly observer-controller (OC) team at the Combat Maneuver Training Center in Hohenfels, Germany. At the time, Adler was one of two captain staff officers and also acted as the logistics advisor on the team, headed by then-Major James Lechner, that was assigned to coach, teach and mentor the 7th Iraqi Army Battalion. Based at the Kirkush Military Training Base, Adler's AST and their Iraqi motorized infantry battalion most notably took part in Operation Baton Rouge in Samarra. In this interview, Adler also discusses the full range of his work with his Iraqi counterparts, candidly talking about both the difficult challenges they faced as well as the successes they achieved. He cited "unrealistic expectations" going in as their chief miscalculation, and further explained how "expectation management" was the most important thing to get a firm handle on when dealing with their mixed Shi'a, Sunni and Kurd battalion.

The key to understanding men is in understanding how they relate to their gadgets. Just because they may seem to show more interest in their computers...or their remote controls...or their fancy watches or their power mowers or their stereos...doesn't mean that their toys are really the most important things in their life. In Boys and Their Toys, bestselling author Bill Adler, Jr. explains how men use toys to assert their independence and freedom, relieve stress, connect to their lost childhood, and even express their nurturing side (without having to admit it). Written in Adler's fun, humorous style, the book reveals how women can: * learn how a man's interest in particular ""toys"" can be used to predict his behavior * know when a guy's passion for gadgets crosses the line into obsession and what to do about it * take advantage of the human-gadget relationship to improve the human-human relationship. Smart and funny, Boys and Their Toys helps readers understand what makes their men tick...and grow closer with them in the process.
