Comments on: The Hurt Locker: Gritty, sure. But realistic? http://richarddnorth.com/2010/03/the-hurt-locker-gritty-sure-but-realistic/ Richard D North welcomes you to his blog. (It links to my old site, now archived.) I am a right-winger, in love with the free market and arguing against the soft-left, liberal, green, PC consensus. Oh, and I'm a conflicted softie. A bit hippy and arty round the edges too.

The character 'William James' is cliché. He is a bad ass, chain smoking maverick - Americans love this because they value individualism. However in real life disobeying orders and endangering your colleges would get you kicked out of the army. Not that it matters to Americans, [RDN edited out some common abuse here].
