The Ballad of Harry Cove

Harry Cove was a Canadian Air Force fighter pilot and he loved the adrenalin rush when he flew his jet. He also holds a 5th Dan Black Belt and the title of Renshi in Karate.Three months ago while flying air support in Iraq during the Gulf War his plane crashed and he was taken prisoner by Iraqi Forces. His captors tortured him to reveal what he knew about the allied war effort but he told them nothing. He finally overcame his guards and in his anger of what the torturer did to him he applied the same torture to the man until he killed him.The air force found out and he was court-martialed, dishonourably discharged and sent to prison for five years.Now at the age of thirty one he has just been released.Embittered at his fall from grace he now has to learn to live a civilian role which is devoid of danger and he is not handling it well.
