Sir Eric,
You might want to check the regs. Soldiers who work directly for Generals
need at least a Security Classification of Secret, you know, the "have you
now or have you ever been a member of . . . "routine. There's liable to be
a long list there, sir, you know, I'm sure about his "Get even with Bush for
stealing the 2000 election," fund raising campaign. That will be a tough
one to overlook until at least 2008. Also, his "Committee for the
elimination of Nationality and support for the Cosmic Id," might be another
tough one to get past your Security people.
Lawrence, sir.

Well, I'm back. Spent the afternoon with my Army
recruiter. He said I could start right away...as a
GENERAL! How about them apples? I asked if I could
wear black leather riding boots and carry a riding
crop, and he said, "Sure you can!"
"How about field artillery," I asked, "Can I get
to fire the field artillery?"
"Well you're the General," he said, saluting me
briskly, and ending his reply with a respectful,
"sir."
"Can I have an assistant?" I asked, "Somebody to
hand me the field glasses when I need them, carry
maps, answer correspondence?"
"You betcha, sir!"
"Can I declare a wartime emergency and impress
civilians into combat?"
"Hey, that's a no-brainer," he said,"You're an
army of one. And you're a GENERAL! Who am I to
argue, sir?"
So, Andreas, you should be getting an official
letter very soon. I insisted on the personal touch
of the letter. Much better than having some
Marines show up and drag you off to a Humvee.
Sir to you,
Eric
