The script for this was written long ago. As a novelist, I can tell you the next chapters. I wrote all about them in my novels, especially my third novel. I didn't have to be particularly prescient, I just had to look at the last 20 times this play has run.
This is an old, old screenplay, and all the players are in place. The wounded ex-Marine is their new martyr. Etc. Hand me a barf bag, we have seen it all before. Maybe John Kerry will come out and show them how to throw medals over a fence.
So whos fault will it be when one of these kids dies of exposure?
