im going to answer all the reviews in one swift update.

1) Sorry, but im afraid its going to be awhile before i update again

2) A lot of my family is or was in the military ( my grandfather is a retired major) so i have nothing more than respect for the armed forces. thats also where i gets most of my combat knowledge

3) the death eaters raped hannah and her mother, not the troops. And since im not going to be posting for awhile im going to give you a summary of the next chapter, as well as an explanation

Voldemort went to several world leaders, as Harry's own forces have all but eliminated his foot soldiers, to get troops. he changed his appearance to a more acceptable form ( a man looking to be about thirty, dressed in a fine tailored suit) and spread a weave of lies. basically he said that the ministry was on the dark side, and that Harry's own small army was a magical terrorist group ( i know that this is a little OOC for Voldemort but just go along with it). so Voldy's now got about 2000 troops ( death eaters and less savory elite soldiers from around the world). he is using them to take out harry's command structure ( in this story, ernie's a little bit more powerful than JKR intended him to be, also, the death eater who was with the strike team sent to eliminate ernie set up anti-apparation/portkey wards before they struck, the death eater sat out of that fight).
you also have to remember that while voldy make make himself look better, he is still evil. so the men under his command have to be at least somewhat influenced by this.
