Warning:  This is dark, though I wouldn�t call it, in the end, a tragedy.  Nonetheless, I strongly recommend reader discretion.  There's a character death, but it occurs at the outset so you don�t have to wonder when it�s coming.  There's also a lot of plain, brutal nastiness:  the horrible things that people can do to each other.  The inspiration for this story is � very loosely � the Iliad.  Hey, if you�re going to cop a theme, you may as well cop Homer.
 

Notes:  In highly traumatic combat situations, the ties between men exceed the term �friendship� by modern usage.  I direct readers to Jonathan Shay�s splendid Achilles in Vietnam: Combat Trauma and the Undoing of Character.  He says, "Modern American English makes soldiers' love for special comrades into a problem, because the word love evokes sexual and romantic associations.  But friendship seems too bland for the passion of care that arises between soldiers in combat" (40).  This is a love story.  It is not a sex story.
 
 

Further notes from whipblade,Death, Rape, Point of Veiws switch from Logan and Scott. This is a deep Dark Fic based in the movie continuity. Also these are off-site Links. Any dead links please either contact [email protected] or [email protected] so we can fix the problem, or at least find it.
