Blending as one leaves the feeling of hiding inside the coal dark stone. “I’m stone. I’m flesh.” (line 5) I am as strong as the granite I am viewing but I am still just a man; flesh‚ blood and bone. My wounds will weep even as I try to hold back my sorrow. The sharp replication of my soul is slanted between the dark evils of war and the light of today where I am still within the battle. I have two paths‚ two choices‚ stay with the darkness of the stone or turn away and free myself from the battle

I think that the first section of the book is very well written‚ and you really do get the sense that the author knew what was happening on the wide-scale. In some books‚ the author can only focus on 1 small element‚ whereas the introduction to this gives a broad sweeping overview of so many different things - many of which made it into the movie; the new Air-Cavalry concept‚ the emphasis placed on small-unit and larger-unit training exercises‚ the command structure being shifted to allow for the
