Review:

I have enjoyed this series and the denouement is a banquet for service men and women and their 
families. The soldiers,sailors, airmen etc were picked from those serving in afghanistan. The 
repulsive saddening thing is seeing the ones hobbling or limping or on crutches, all dressed up for 
their thank you meal for being maimed in the cause of American foreign policy (bush years). The idea 
of people dying and killing and being injured and maiming, and being told to do this by our govt, 
chosen by us, is horrifying. It is truly sad, and no excellent food can stop our stomachs turning, from 
the vomit rising in our throats at the thought of state ordered death. What honour in this world?
