Status Updates From A Fable

The irony of executing people because they refuse to die in your stupid, senseless, unwinnable war is mankind at peak stupidity. Faulkner does a good job getting that point across, though, I will admit.

I finally figured out why I'm not enjoying this. Faulkner doesn't name anybody to allude to the faceless, nameless act of war, how so many parish needlessly, and so many remained unnamed, John and Jane Does, so maimed and mutilated by war to be personless cogs in the crushing machine of mankind's violent pastime. I get it. I simply hate that I don't have names for these people, which is the point, of course.
