Arthur Miller dramatised the tragedy of an arms dealer who sold defective parts to his own country's military only to have his own son killed in the aftermath.
In life as in literature, arms dealer ATK Thiokol has been caught selling defective flares for allied soldiers' use and dimemberment in the war in Iraq.
A company employee blew the whistle on the weapons maker and dragged its negligent ass into court. Mimed soldiers scheduled to testify against the flare manufacturer are 1st corporal " Lefty" Ladue of New Orleans, LA, Sgt Gimpy Grimaldi of Brooklyn, NY and 2nd Leftenant Nigel " No Knees" Nicklebottom of Mudpuddle by the Swampstream, Cornwall.
