Is this a whimsical way of pointing out that, even in our success (if you can call it that - the scene is of warfare, after all), there is "one in every crowd"? <br /><br />Secondly, when I first saw the shot of the floating pen, I was chilled by it's blood red tip. This fear turned out to be unfounded, but I was concerned that it had been used as a weapon of some kind.
