I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

There needs to be a Storm of Steel movie to provide a badass motherfucker counterbalance to Western Front. Let's see both sides.

I don't feel bad about crying. I enjoy it. I don't feel bad about admitting that I cry. It's a good thing
