Ouch! That smarts!
I was thinking of comparing this with his 'sofa' shot, which I believe is from his New Soldier book. How could this guy, become that guy, in such a short time? or was he always - that guy?
I mean, I can understand his turning so fast. He came in there as a troublemaker. And because of that Wright and the others, essentially, threw him out of 'the club' (and also his Thorne connection meant he had to go ultra-lib to earn his gigolo money; that was his 'financial' lifeline). This is what Kerry thought happened to him at St. Paul's, as well. Rejected again. In November - it's REALLY going to hurt.
