War Story At the Rialto, A

Some time in the near future, a military processing center in a foreign land comes under attack. the local hospital chief wants the army out of his country, while a reckless army clerk refuses to send anyone home, and the intellectual post commander is too absorbed in watching old movies to do much about anything. a darkly comic tale of war's absurdity.
