Fleming was writing soon after the war and based on his experiences in the war. Bond is basically a soldier, who sees it as his patriotic duty to serve his country, in whatever way required. A widespread view in those days, for instance the training of the SOE. But he was not unaffected by killing. The Bond of the films is a totally different creature and much more shallow.miker22https://www.blogger.com/profile/10938730639767634584noreply@blogger.com
