book soldier
origin probably military. a book soldier is a person caught up in details and procedures, but lacking in experience and insight. typically used disparagingly, a book soldier typically is a bureaucrat or official of small import enforcing petty rules that the objects of his/her decision see as virtually meaningless. as a result of, or in compensation for, this focus on minute details, the book soldier secures his or her reputation by being, or described as being, head-smart not street-smart, or educated fool, or drone, lacking empathy and grace.
“second lieutenant johnson” was the cl-ssic book soldier: he knew rotc protocol but nothing about actual warfare, or how to handle a platoon for that matter. if he can’t find it in the manual, he freaks out. that’s why sarge calls the shots.”
“jason is a sweet person in real life but at work, in human resources, he is a total book soldier. he told me once that one of the staff missed making employee of the month because of a two-minute discrepancy between the time clock and the sign-in sheet. i guess in a job like that, it pays to be -n-l, but fortunately that’s not the jason i usually see.”
