You have to wait this one out to the end. But the waiting time is well spent with a realistic rendition of war, what is it good for. Nothing.
The theme beyond the hook is that unlike so much blather from the Right about flags, patriotism, glory and country, the reality is men fight and die for those who are next to them. Well unless its SECTARIAN in nature and then it’s to fight and die for the world of pretend. On the bright side, these brave souls will never know they died for nothing. Well other than spreading intolerance and ignorance around the world.
