A quote from David Weber, author “Honor Harrington” stuff.
Non-fiction section where he was talking about writing military science fiction. Said it was important significant characters on the good guys side die. If only the bad guys and nameless spear carriers die, you aren't writing military SF, you are writing military p***nography.
Not in ebooks I have. Maybe a paper book I read?
Anyone recall this and where it is?
Did another author write that and I am confused?
