Agreed.
Fleming, as we know, was in His Majesty’s service. I suspect Craig’s version of Bond, is as you say, closer to Fleming’s experience.
I remember reading that Fleming was having violent tendencies and his shrink suggested he take up writing to get those tendencies out of his system. The Bond in the original books was a real bastard and Craig fits the bill. Trouble is, as usual, the cruddy screenwriting.
