Kaz stop bringing the real world into this pretendy funtime game

[monsieur_miller]

Every nation, no matter how small, has had periods of great strife. Many of these try to honour their fallen soldiers in one way or another. But over the years, as the veterans die off and fewer children of each following generation learn about the sacrifices made so they can live their lives as they do, the meaning of these days of remembrance

Hell, I'm still a commanding officer.

[badasscopters]

Damn, that's pretty good.

[Pause. Uh. What else does he say? Hm.]

A guy like me thinks about this kinda thing often. [Getting married to a long-time soldier that could go out and die any day kind of does that to you.]

[monsieur_miller]

PRETTY... GOOD.

Good. Too bad most governments don't think the same way.

[badasscopters]

That's some government for you. Shame, that.

Veterans damn well deserve the respect.

[monsieur_miller]

As it was in my time, and still looks to be today, world governments just throw away their soldiers' lives if they think it suits them. The only solution is to build a nation apart from all others, one that will forever appreciate us. That is was what my Boss strove for.

[badasscopters]

... Ain't that a pity.

Kinda big goal your boss was tryin' to go for, huh? Can't say it's a bad one, though. Ain't bad at all.

[monsieur_miller]

A little lofty, sure, but not impossible. Apparently he came so close, but something in him snapped in the process. I should have been there...

[badasscopters]

I kinda doubt anything's impossible, especially if you work hard on it. Know what I'm sayin'?

[Kinda corny, but kinda true, he thinks.]
