Boy, that’s a tough beat. He looks absolutely djected.

“Not trying to insinuate any blame on Whitehead here”

yet succeeding!

As long as we’re splitting hairs, let’s split the one between troop “worship” and troop “respect, honor, and support.”

“Yes, which is a childlike view of things.”
What, waiting for their actions to match their words rather than assuming the outcome is a childlike view? Huh.  

hahahahaha, yeah, totally what will happen.
