This is a HBO war appreciation blog.

I live for music, tv shows, movies and books.

I'm kind of obsessed with
▪ Band of Brothers
▪ Cloud Atlas
▪ Doctor Who
▪ Easy Company, 506 PIR
▪ Generation Kill
▪ Hannibal
▪ John le Carré novels
▪ military stuff
▪ monkeys
▪ Political Animals
▪ River Phoenix
▪ Shameless (US)
▪ Sherlock Holmes in general
▪ Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
▪ The Pacific
▪ The Walking Dead
▪ Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter
▪ WWII

You'll probably find a lot of that on here.

I have a lot of feelings about certain veterans, fictional Britsh/Hungarian spies and closeted neighborhood thugs.

On the founding anniversary of the American Red Cross, here’s Kathleen Kennedy in her A.R.C. uniform from World War II. The photo was taken in London, circa 1943.
Kathleen was the second daughter and fourth child of Joseph and Rose Kennedy.
While in college, Kathleen Kennedy began volunteering for the Red Cross in New York in the summer of 1940.  After working for the Times-Herald newspaper, she rejoined the war effort by volunteering again for the Red Cross, this time in London. Read More
