Is that Ms Penelope Rutledge I see presiding over the "trouncing of the foe"?!!! How stirring! You have done well, Rapaire, and shall be rewarded with a medal or two and a commendation. Those cutesy-pie thingees you found and fought are the most disgusting sight I have seen in a long time, and I dearly hope you exterminated every last one of them! Don't fret over the casualties. Bloodshed and heavy loss of life are part of every glorious victory, and guarantee that it will be long remembered and serve to inspire future generations to go forth and hurl themselves mindlessly into the fray just as their forefathers did. Expect more of this. It's good for morale and makes for great movies and books at a later date.

Too bad about Debbie Earl...but he/she/it kept talking about the "nice little farm" he/she/it was going to own after the war, and you know what happens to idiots who do that! It's the same as guys who are on guard duty at night and say, "It's too quiet out there. I don't like it." More fatal words were never spoken. Any guy says that, he's dead meat. I can guaran-dam-tee-it, pilgrim.
