Cover Quotes

I'm in awe of that, and I think the term implies being at it every day or at least weekly.

Men and women who venture to someone else’s war through choice do so in a variety of guises. UN general, BBC correspondent, aid worker, mercenary: in the final analysis they all want the same thing, a hit off the action, a walk on the dark side.
