Summary
title: a french idiom, literally translating to "it's not the sea to drink"—meaning, it's not that difficult.
In a newspaper, there’s the damned dreaded headline: MILITARY SERVICE ACT, and suddenly every man aged from 18 to 41 is leaving Brumley to God-knows-where. Eric grips that paper with two fists and dashes it to the ground. Coward—Didn’t he owe it to them? And if not for them, for his country?
or: eric doesn't want to be a toy soldier for his father.
