"Things take a hard turn for the histrionic as soon as Scott hits the road
on his wild goose chase, as the government middleman systemically visits an
endless parade of two-dimensional archetypes who are willing to speak to
Pitsenbarger’s heroism."

As this reviewer of "The Last Full Measure" knew,  the "chase" is both
meaningful and productive.
