Thanks a lot again guys!
Mike, Brent, Jim, I don't mind the sidestep as it is really interesting for me!
I also rolled into the military subjects and have thought about their attraction to me.
Since I'm primarily trying to tell a story with my , military stuff is just one possibility amongst many. Still, the extreme circumstances in a war context set very interesting scenes and make for very compelling stories, so I keep coming back to them. This doesn't mean glorifying war (believe me, I personally see nothing positive coming out of war), on the contrary I often try to show its' ugly face. And if not, I usually tell stories how fighting men try to stay human in those terrible conditions. As Mike stated, the uglyness of war doesn't necessarly reflect on everybody involved in it.
But I don't mind doing something else from time to time. I guess it all comes down to this: we all make models because of different reasons, with different goals, and with different interests. All we can do is try to be ourselves in it and not just follow other peoples opinions/interests/goals.
Thanks again and best wishes!
