What are the motifs in Black Friday by James Patterson?

Honor is a recurring idea in this book. Several people in this novel are honorable, though there are also several who show no signs of honor. David Hudson is a military dream. He followed orders and accepted training, becoming an elite soldier willing to carry out whatever he was commanded to do. When Hudson returned from Vietnam, he was missing an arm and the powers that had groomed him for a long military career were suddenly less interested. David became a voice for the veterans, outspoken against the government that he said had betrayed the soldiers.
