  Over the past decade and a half, Daniel Craig has become so synonymous with James Bond that it's easy to forget just how royally pissed off a lot of 007 fans were when his casting was first announced. Shortly after the gruffly handsome, but relatively unknown, Brit was anointed as Pierce Brosnan's successor at a splashy London press conference on October 14, 2005, the Bond faithful rushed to their computers and began firing, behaving with the same trollish, knee-jerk wrath that would soon become the favorite pastime of Marvel fanboys. This week, as the actor's fifth and final 007 installment, No Time to Die, finally arrives in theaters, the Craig-as-Bond controversy couldn't seem more absurd. In fact, you could make a pretty air-tight case that no one has done more for the double-o franchise than Daniel Craig. (Well, no one who isn't named Sean Connery at least.) And the evidence was right in front of our eyes from the very beginning.   The longest war in our nation's history is over. As these six eyewitness perspectives attest—a commanding general, a sniper, an interpreter, and others—although the fighting is done, the battle over its memory is just beginning.
 Six men have inhabited 007. Not all of them are created equal.
 Attention to detail was everything on the 'Sopranos' set, even down to the smallest props.  Sometimes, even the world was not enough for the megalomaniacal rogues and rascals who routinely put 007 through his paces.
