People join the military for all sorts of reasons I know a person who was in the US airforce and a person who used to be a military policeman who served in Northern Ireland and both of them joined up not to because they wanted to kill people, but out of a sense of patriotic duty. Knowing them made me, a lifelong pacifist rethink a lot of the negative stereotypes I had about soldiers. varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-23472595175735544002014-11-20T14:41:58.940+00:002014-11-20T14:41:58.940+00:00Fair does.

I just thought that the US armed forces were more hardcore than the UK ones because I view people from the USA as having less respect for life in general. They all have guns and they execute criminals.Lucy McGoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343777122050849475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-75664019406042575672014-11-17T21:13:10.257+00:002014-11-17T21:13:10.257+00:00I dunno..

Ennis is a massive military history buff and has written some amazingly moving war stories that I may cover one day, I'm inclined to believe him if he says the SAS are the baddest of asses. That said there is always competition between military squadrons even on the same side, for example Sean corrects Eddie when Eddie asks if he was in the army and Sean says no, he was a marine. And the arc I skipped over has a member of the British Airbourne who are rivals with the SAS.varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-37814942216739338812014-11-17T20:19:50.017+00:002014-11-17T20:19:50.017+00:00It's awfully nice of Mr Ennis to be so complim...It's awfully nice of Mr Ennis to be so complimentary about the SAS, but I bet that IRL the Navy Seals are much more hardcore than them.Lucy McGoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343777122050849475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-46509339045655367662014-11-17T20:14:29.096+00:002014-11-17T20:14:29.096+00:00I find it fascinating that Garth Ennis and Grant M...I find it fascinating that Garth Ennis and Grant Morrison two men whose opinions on superheroes in general are so diameterically opposed, can still find common ground when it comes to Superman.varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-47148679803545213952014-11-17T19:09:39.014+00:002014-11-17T19:09:39.014+00:00don't mess with the sas! also superman is cool...don't mess with the sas! also superman is cool i'm glad ennis didn't treat him like he usually does with super herosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
