Boyd was to military science what someone like Steve Jobs was to commercial technology, or dare I say Elon Musk to commercial spaceflight. A brilliant innovator and complete asshole who could have innovated even more brilliantly if he hadn't insisted on being such a complete asshole. And who also had some hangers-on like Pierre Sprey who were . . . not as brilliant.
