    Yeah, the dude is fighting for his nation’s survival and he’s been pretty successful at it. It sucks he has to do it, but I understand exactly why he did.

        This would be unbelievably frustrating to read. I mean, he really does his job well. But the things he has to put up with and the way the whole war has been handled? Hard to not bite the book out of frustration.
