Read a bit about the overthrow of the Taliban. I would also reccy some books about major battles of Vietnam (do not read the dribble in Wikipedia - it is basically useless on Vietnam) - Khe Sanh and the Tet Offensive come to mind.

Going back a bit further there was some amazing stuff in Korea - mostly after the ChiCom army moved a million men in against us. If you're after the Air Force, then there are some good books around Mig Alley. (Once again, Wikipedia is worthless on most of Korea.)

And, of course, there were things like the Doolittle raid before the Doolittle raid. John Paul Jones had to have an extra boat just to carry his genitalia. There's a reason he's interred in Bancroft Hall. Some good books about him.
