UNREALISTIC.

Okay, I will give credit were credit is due. Probably the author is one of the most knowledge military hardware/tactics writers in the net and while the work is not great, it's really not that boring, for it keep my attention until the end of the second book.

But when you think about it, it's honestly unrealistic.

Just like the ending of Independence Day, it's U.S.A who not only created the technology to attack Hell, it's presidents talked and outwitted with the queen of succubus and the order to kill Satan, killed Uriel, assaulted heaven and dropped the nuclear bomb, captured Michael and 90% of all the leaders, great discoveries, tragedies, allies and point of views (even new Rome is modeled under american standards thanks that her new ally/lover is an american soldiers)is done or extremely influenced by americans. Sure, he describe other countries and their output, but they are always second fiddle to Americans and act as a support and background instead of the actual powerful countries in their own right like in real life.

When you create and give the same role to the U.S army as a Transformers movie, you can't call it international.

But that's not what breaks the "This is reality" thematic. It's his use of sociology and psychology with the demons in hell.

For over 2000 as to 8000 years, billions of humans had been tortured. Satan had Adam in a small cage and even followers of other Gods and cultures (Spartan and Japanese) ended being brutally violated for eons. And then he paints that after the war most devils are now under the morals of the greatest democracy of the world, that people feel bad after the attack because that's how we act,and now we must accept and help this poor victims of the circumstances.

Go to the congo and say to the thousands of woman that had been brutally mutilated that they now must forgive. See Afghanistan and how much the war had changed for the better the life of it's people. Or ask that the slavers in the child pornography ring and organ traffickers be forgiven because it was the environment that make them that way.

And He stated in Two? years they had quelled the resentment, avoid revolutions or armed attacks against devils by the millions or other countries and educated them into our morals to the level of a recent arrived immigrant to create a new society.

Seriously?
