What makes me so livid as a Midwesterner who had Hmong neighbors and friends my whole life is OUR GOVERNMENT BROUGHT THEM HERE. we destroyed their home, we had them fight for us in our war, and then they had nowhere safe to remain when we left. So we brought them here. And now we're deporting them.

Basically Jack Reacher has sex with The Law Enforcement Officer Du Livre as a break for the author exhausted by choreographing constant violence. Whereas a Regency duke has a full bare-knuckle boxing scene as a break for the author who really cannot think of one more synonym for penis.
