7/25    Friend of mine's thinking about joining the armed forces.
        He was thinking either marines or army.  I was going to say that
        marines are far more dangerous, but then I stopped and thought of
        the Three Block War vs. the Navy shelling the crap out of Iraq
        before the  marine had to storm it; is the notion reversed now?
        Does the army has a tougher job/more dangerous job than the marines

edit Plot summary In the terrible time of Evil, the wicked Voltan kills his own father. However, before the old man dies, he bequeaths to his other son, Hawk, a sword with magical powers. Voltan's evil touches the whole countryside, and in time, there comes to a solitary convent one Ranulf, a man who has survived the attack of Voltan, an evildoer described as a son of Satan. Ranulf reports to the nuns of Voltan's attack on his people, who have been "hacked to pieces", even the women and children. Ranulf's injured arm is saved, but his hand is beyond saving. He kidnaps the Abbess, demanding as her ransom all the gold of the convent and the local Abbey. Voltan again injures Ranulf, but he decides not kill him. Ranulf rides off to the Abbey to talk with the High Abbot, who sends Ranulf to look for one who can help, namely, Hawk. Hawk discovers Ranulf with the help of a local blind sorceress, a woman whose life he saves when she is accused of witchcraft. Ranulf is the prisoner by this time of two thieves, but Hawk rescues him with the help of his sword. After a long and dangerous journey, Ranulf and Hawk decide to help the nuns get their Mother Superior back. Hawk locates his old friends: Gort, a serious giant,who wields a mighty mallet; Crow, an elf of few words and a deadly bow, and Baldin, a funny dwarf,with a whip. The Fellowship of the Ring will not be lost on viewers). All together, they arrive at the convent, protecting the nuns and working out how to get sufficient gold to lure Voltan into a trap. They rob the needed gold from a slave trader, Sped, by using their combined powers. Knowing Voltan of old, Hawk doubts about the promise of Voltan to free the Abbess. Hawk recalls how Voltan killed Elaine, his wife, by shooting her in the back, a crime he adds in his reckoning to the death of his father also. Hawk and his friends, suspecting Voltan's treason, decide to rescue the Abbess, but they fail. Later, Hawk kills Drogo, Voltan's son, who earlier tried to kill Hawk and the nuns. When Voltan realizes that Hawk has killed Drogo, his rage boils, and he engages with the heroes in a final battle at the convent. He is helped by a well-meaning but rogue nun to capture the heroes; With the help of the sorceress, the heroes overcome their captivity, though the dwarf is mortally wounded and dies trying to distract Voltan from torturing Hawk with a hot iron. In the fighting that ensues, the evil Voltan gets his just reward at the hands of Hawk, and the Abbess is restored. An underworld influence leaves us aware that Voltan will be restored to life to carry out further evil. Meanwhile, Hawk and the giant end up by following the sorceress's advice to go south and engage new evildoers, continuing the battle of good against evil. with the following text: "Terry Marcel, writer and director of legendary cult sword and sorcery movie 'Hawk the Slayer' is returning in 2009 to continue the adventures of Hawk, with a follow up entitled Hawk the Hunter.
