Powerful and moving, and I hate-hate-hate reading about war, but you've pulled me in with this series. Archetypal, epic, heroic stuff here!

I'm Captain Bo, and from now on for the next two years, I'm both your father and mother. You have two hours, while we get a little of refreshment and rest, to say goodbye to the families. After that we move on, without looking back.

The sacrifice - the loss of life - did I mention how much I despise war?
You write about it so well, I may be forced to keep reading.
