Dr. Albert Hirsch's point of view. Word: Sword.
Doctor Hirsch scrutinized the volunteer before him.
Captain in the Marines: good. He would be disciplined, obedient. Half-trained, physically.
Ordinary appearance: also good. His was a face that would blend easily—change the hair color, change the man. And the eyes: blue-grey. Perfect for using colored contacts; perfect for disguises.
Idealism: not as desirable. It was a double-edged sword, he knew. Easily exploited—the line about saving American lives would work on this one. But also risky; killing was not glorious or glamorous. Not for the weak or the romantic.
He weighed the options, decided he would keep this one.
