...perilous work. On one morning this month, Tasayco and Corporal Nathan Buck take their squad out to commandeer a small shopping complex, which will give cover for the rest of the platoon to push east.

But unlike the surly Carton of the book, Shafrin’s character—with thick Harry Potter glasses and too-high pants tucked into argyle socks—was cowering and nerdy, a perfect and hilarious foil to Martin’s commanding presence. Speaking in a finely honed French accent and moving with a deliberate energy, Burkle—whose character also functioned as the narrator?...
...that answer stinks,' but normally keep comments to themselves. In the blogosphere, you make a comment, there?s no compunction with people saying I disagree."
