spending their idle time like the rest of us do, just passing the day away.”And so they do — gossiping, arguing, strategizing and generally wondering

guys or red guys for no apparent reason. The comedy, absurdist, military, and
oddly bureaucratic, was compared by one critic to the plays of Samuel Beckett.
