• Time dilation, post traumatic stress & morally difficult Hawkwind songs.
\n
• Charley's War & Poppies, Millicom and champgane sipping chateau Generals
\n
• Robots & the ABC Warriors (including Savage/Invasion)
\n
• Why fight on a planet's surface when you can blast it from orbit just to be sure?
\n
• 'Good' Germans, Klingons and Romulons
\n
• Rogue trooper's tone and British War Comic tradition
\n
• Retirement plans from Elephantmen to Blade Runner
