ITs like the writer couldn't resist throwing in a Joseph Conrad "Heart od Darkness" social commentary, but it seems unlikely that a unit would fall apart in a little over a month that way.
It seemed realsitic to me, in that seeing the collapse of civilization unit discipline would be stretched.... all in all the seemed to have some cohesiveness right up until the officer was removed from the picture, compounded by the competition over the females.
