Yeah, in the GSM community it’s pretty much commonplace for current/former service members to be the biggest kind of bootlickers outside of people that lick boots. The disdain for Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience is kind of baked in for most like Mayor Pete.

I choose pistols at dawn, suh

Is that the Neutral Milk Hotel take on this, “King of the Andals and First Men Pt. 2"?

We’ll probably have it be set in two time periods with the current flash forward having our better older ladies and the 1984 having our blander younger ladies.
