Well everything seems to suggest the military-theory but i wouldnt be so sure. One thing that i noticed about FF is that everything that seems to be quite logic turn out exactly the other way aroun. Take this "kicking-Crow-into-the-engine-scene" normally you would expect the good guy not to kill other people, specially when they are unarmed, but we become part of a unwilling funny and quite shocking situation when the guy just disappers in the running engine. So what i basically want to say that it can be that Joss make Book being something we would not expect him to be coz former army officer seems to be too easy to guess but well.... we shall see.

He knows too much about weapons and war stuff to not have some connection to the army.

Every large bureaucracy (the government of the Alliance) certainly has rogue agencies that are supported by secrecy, money and power. Some military or secret service agencies (eg. The Blue Gloves agents) act in the interests of furthering their agenda (state security etc.) Perhaps Book is part of a rival organization that secretly works to obfuscate the Blue Gloves goals of capturing River. It is not unusual for rival departments to actively work against each other. In Canada for decades the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and CSIS (Canadian Secret Intelligence Service) clashed over jurisdiction and power, much like I imagine the CIA and the FBI.
