I pretty much disagree with your whole post, not that there's anything wrong with that since to each his own.<br>
<br>
I found Legion to be an excellent story. As for the little details such as trench angles and what not, well those are the things and effective comnbat leader at Rufio's level would be paying attention to. We are meant to be reminded that those little points help distinguish live veterans from dead amatuers or political appointees.<br>
<br>
And the superflous bits of a story are the ones that to me add a little flavor to the thing, just as a good storyteller around the campfire will sometimes linger over some point not central to his main theme in order to add a little valdity to the yarn.<br>
<br>
Los<br>
<br>
<br>
P.s. Glad to hear the next Scarrow book is out since I very much enjoy his work too. And while he's at it keep the profanity coming, I'm very suspect of soldiers that don't swear. They're viewed with suspicion from the rest of us that do. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=los456>Los456</A> at: 6/24/04 6:49 pm<br></i>
