* Seeing Frank Castle in his prime as a Marine in Vietnam has something of a tragic undertone to it. Fans of the character know what awaits him further down the line, we know everything that he'll lose and the person he will become as a result. The tragedy stems from knowing that he'll survive the war, but will return to a life of unimaginable darkness all the same.

much as I love this part there's a clear difference in how the two of them speak, and it's also not relevant to this page

* Also from the last issue is Fury's flashback to his conversation with Hatherly's granddaughter, and the CallBack to the very first issue when Fury and Hatherly discussed what the American Flag represented to them. An in-universe example as well, as Fury can be seen getting misty-eyed in the final panels.
-->'''Fury:''' He told me it had to do with the debt we owed to the past, and the responsibility we owed to the future. He said it was right there for all to see. Blood on the bandaged wounds of brave men...and all the stars in the sky.

* The entire last issue of the series is basically an examination of how little Fury's life of war has meant. Even the enemy who defeated him in Vietnam acknowledges that it was all pointless.
