The man who walks into the Nexus, doesn't realize it because he has his nose in a book.  It's an old book, leather bound,  yellowing pages, thick and heavy, almost like a tome. He looks pale, like he spends too much time indoors, and he smells like books, leather, glue and paper.  He walks in a vaguely straight line until he hits a couch

If I ever get around to having children, I'm probably going to wind up being the famous ancestor. My military exploits were... rather notable.

He looks interested.

"Military exploits? What sort?"

Military commander for ZAFT Forces in the African Community in the First Valentine War. Basically I was in charge of the military forces for half the continent. A big part of it was what the forces under my command to to the Earth Alliance tank corp at the Battle of El-Alamain. And yes, I am aware of the historical irony.

"Unfortunately I'm not," he taps the book lightly, "Still, it sounds very interesting."

The history books make it sound more interesting than it really was. Most of my military exploits come from a firm grounding in history. Those who do not learn from past are doomed to repeat it's mistakes applies just as much to battle tactics as much as anything else.

"Oh yes, I totally agree. It's one of the reasons why I love history so much."
