And of course, there is the ever-wonderful Eloise and Colin. I think Eloise has to be one of my favorite characters of all time. She is bumbling, awkward I will never give up hoping they will get their own book one of these days. I hate only getting short glimpses into their world, I want more! The settings are always historically sound, the characters and their feelings always believable, there is always an abundance of delightfully biting wit, and some of the capers these people get into are ridiculous enough to be on the point of spoof I don't mean spoof in a bad way - I mean it as in the characters are channeling the spirit of Amelia Peabody , but real enough to put you on the edge of your seat.
In short, this series has it all.

And this one, for me, was the best of the lot so far. There was one thing- toward the end, Alex and Penelope rush off somewhere in a hurry, so she just jumps on his horse with him, but then when they are leaving, their horses plural are waiting for them. But, I do just have the ARC, so maybe it was cleared up?

I was just like, oh, I get to blow up stuff! I signed up right then and there on the spot. Because, like, in the States, a little kid will chase a soccer ball in the streets. And overseas, a little kid will chase a soccer ball into a minefield. Whether, you know, it happens in Korea or Bosnia or Iraq, kids get killed all the time by land mines. They get maimed by them.
We put out these mines.

We have no concern for what they do. The culture does enough to make war, combat, and soldiering appealing. Ali Aoun was born in Rochester, New York. His father is Lebanese. His mother is from the Caribbean. He says he wanted to be a soldier from the age of nine. He was raised watching war films.
But even antiwar films such as Platoon and Full Metal Jacket celebrate the power and seductiveness of violence. He wanted this experience as his own. He says no one pushed him into it. You never really know a woman until you jump in bed with her. At first Millard liked the National Guard. He was able to enroll in Niagara County Community College as a business major, where he signed up for an African American studies class thinking it would be an easy A.
He read The Autobiography of Malcolm X. He read Frederick Douglass. His wrestling coach came into the room to tell him he had been activated.

Betrayal's Allure
I was ready to go to war. At first he did military funerals. Then he was called up for Iraq. He was by then a sergeant and was assigned to work in the office of a general with the 42nd Infantry Division, Rear Operation Center. He became, in military slang, a REMF—a rear echelon motherfucker. He was based in Tikrit, where he watched the cynical and cold manipulation of human life. He relates the story of a traffic-control mission gone awry when an eighteen-year-old soldier made a bad decision.
He was sitting atop an armored Humvee monitoring a checkpoint. An Iraqi car approached, and the soldier, fearing it might be carrying a suicide bomber, pressed the butterfly trigger on his. He put two hundred rounds into the car in less than a minute, killing a mother, a father, a four-year-old boy, and a three-year-old girl.
I mean, they had pictures. And this colonel turns around to this full division staff and says: They knew all the stuff that happened.
They got all the briefings. They knew what happened. When Iraqis got killed, to them, it was one less fucking Hadji around. He is the cofounder of the Washington, D. He has taken part in numerous antiwar demonstrations around the country, was one of the organizers of the Winter Soldier hearings, returned to Iraq on a humanitarian aid mission in , and now directs a homeless veterans initiative. The briefing that Millard and his superiors received after the checkpoint killing was one of many. Sergeant Perry Jeffries, who served in the Fourth Infantry Division in Iraq after being called out of retirement, said the killing of Iraqi civilians at checkpoints was routine.
Killing becomes a job. Sometimes it unnerves you. The disillusionment comes swiftly. It is not the war of the movies. It is not the glory promised by the recruiters.
Vicious Allure () - IMDb
The mythology fed to you by the church, the press, the school, the state, and the entertainment industry is exposed as a lie. We are not a virtuous nation. God has not blessed America. Victory is not assured. And we can be as evil, even more evil, than those we oppose. War is venal, noisy, frightening, and dirty. The military is a vast bureaucratic machine fueled by hyper-masculine fantasies and arcane and mind-numbing rules. War is always about betrayal—betrayal of the young by the old, of idealists by cynics, and of soldiers and Marines by politicians.
They want to feel good. I support the troops.
