Military glory --the attractive rainbow that rises in shower

Summary

This quote refers to the concept of military glory, which is described as a captivating and alluring phenomenon. The use of the metaphor "attractive rainbow" suggests that glory in the context of warfare may appear desirable and glamorous. However, the imagery of "showers of blood" reminds us that military glory often comes at a high cost: the sacrifice of human lives and the devastation of war. It highlights the brutal reality behind the perceived honor and glamor of warfare.

I don't mind admitting that I, too, have watched Hilton undergoing the sexual act. I phrase it as crudely as that because it was one of the least erotic such sequences I have ever seen. She seemed to know what was expected of her and to manifest some hard-won expertise, but I could almost have believed that she was drugged. At no point did her facial expression match even the simulacrum of lovemaking.
