Ok, this is not going to be a complimentary review in spite of me mostly enjoying this story. Here’s my gripe. The moral dilemmas that Caleb faces and responds to are not those of a warrior. He takes the abuse of a Dictator and always finds a way to justify it. [SPOILER]. The fact that d-bag governor offered his Marine as a sacrifice just to date his own anger/incompetence and Caleb’s justification of that is pathetic. Vomiting pathetic. I’m not a Marine but I am a soldier, a leader and had some skeezy scum bag dictator douxhebag leader offered one of my soldiers to be sacrificed I wouldn’t have spent minutes justifying his behavior, I would be putting his sorry ass down like a rabid dog. What a POS. So yeah Caleb, the hardcore MARSOC Raider acts badass at times but then justifies the behavior of evil people in an ongoing internal dialogue that makes me sick. That’s why I despise Caleb and find him totally unworthy.
