I have nothing more insightful to add than he is so good and this book is so good

Daily Pratchett:
‘A man on a horse came and said we must fight the foreign dogs—’
‘That’s us, sir,’ said Carrot helpfully.
‘—because you have stolen an island that is under the sea. But what is that to us? We know no harm of you foreign devils, but the men who oil their beards in Al-Khali we do not like. So we send him back.’

"It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.”

Almost surely gonna've been very wrong about what's really going on.

Daily Pratchett:
But what else had anyone expected? He’d done his duty. He’d brought back heaps of spoils, lots of captives and, almost uniquely among Ankh-Morpork’s military leaders, most of his men. Vimes suspected that this last fact was one reason why history didn’t approve. There was a suggestion that this was, in some way, not playing fair.

Finally cleared out other work stuff enough to be back on my weekly schedule for Discworld and I'm very excited about it

Daily Vimes:
‘You, sir, are no gentleman,’ said Rust.
‘I knew there was something about me that I liked.’

This unironically might be one the best anti-war books ever written

Sometimes I'm reminded Terry Pratchett is an old, white Englishman :/ I can still see what he's going for
