I wouldn't say I don't get angry, especially if there's a reason for me to be so. I'm as human and flawed as the rest of us are. It is but a necessity, though, that those who are entrusted with the responsibility of carrying or wielding a weapon are aware of what such meant and capable of utmost discretion. I've met the most admirable people while I was still in the service, and it was an honour to have been part of the service. Married life, motherhood, and special circumstances changed my priorities, though.Cotwani wrote: ↑07 Nov 2018, 04:58Lol! Neither military nor army could corrupt your non-violent nature! I'm told the tough training hardens all fluff! I guess it was no walk in the park for you having to interact with either victims of violence or hardened colleagues.Espie wrote: ↑03 Nov 2018, 05:00 I could always avoid horrific segments by covering my eyes, turning off the volume, or going somewhere else altogether if such would just be on the TV or in the movies. Reading the words and not grasping the images and sounds, though, is a different story, so I think I have to skip this piece. Paradoxical it may seem, but military cadet training and my subsequent past naval career didn't totally wipe out my aversion. But, I never owned nor actually used any type of armament on anyone before, though, so it's not what people would usually think. Nonetheless, thank you for your candid review.
The book has a bit of blood shed. I found some killings unnecessary.

Damn right - you are not alone! I'm in the dreamer category too. I think almost everyone is. Probably even the terrorist thinks he will live in peace after he gets rid of his enemies!

Imagine a day when there's no longer any need for such unnatural loss of lives. "You may say I am a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."
Yes, the book was an exciting read. Thanks for stopping by!
