When soldiers part way at war’s end, the breakup of the platoon triggers the same emotion as the death of a person – it is the final bloodless death of the war. This same mood haunts actors on the drop of the final curtain: after months of working together, something greater than themselves has just died.

I'd love to have one myself but as far as I know they're only available from the US which means I'd have to pay additional customs fees if I got one, and since they're kinda expensive to begin with my student economy wouldn't be able to handle it! :(

The whole customs fee was the main reason I bought it on eBay, plus they had it in store and the seller had a 100% positive feedback.
