resentment
Like a Flame Thrower
I watched a movie about the Marines on a Pacific Island in World War II on Monday night. In the film, a platoon attacked a bunker with rifles, grenades, and a flame thrower. The flame thrower was particularly dramatic; the Marine gripped the nozzle with both hands and pulled the trigger. With a loud whooshing sound the flames arced forward. He swept the nozzle back and forth; the flames were horrific.
