Dearest Mother, 

 

I have received a most unexpected field promotion from General Reich.  After Colonel Ryan maintained his command despite a rifle shot to the shoulder, I have received command of the unit.  Oddly, Colonel Ryan’s injury was not noted by any soldier in the army prior to the unit’s most opprobrious defeat near Shiloh.  Whilest a popular commander amongst the troops, Colonel Ryan has faltered at key moments of the battle, and General Reich appears disposed towards allowing him extended time to convalesce.  
 

Nevertheless, the rest of the unit appears excited, given the success I experienced leading training maneuvers before the beginning of campaigning season.  Please pray for my first command action in a week’s time against the army of the Potomac.  While Capt. Wentz, of whom our unit is well acquainted, is not currently bivouacking with the opposing force, his unit has experienced more success than expected this campaigning season.  Please pray that my sidearm fires true and my tactics prove fruitful.  If God wills it, we shall once again experience victory.

 

Your Most Faithful Son,

Samuel

Dearest Loyal Fiancée,

 

I must confess that I have penned to a letter to Dearest Mother Jena, and I beg the Lord's forgiveness for my lack of truthfulness. Please prayer for me, my Dearest Fiancée. The times are chaotic, and morale is low among the soldiers. I long for happiness, reality, my family, and my home in the great Lone Star state. I just pray for strength.  

 

Since the Great Mutiny of the Year of our Lord 2012 in the Great State of Corn, hope has grown dim. Life was bearable until the Year of our Lord 2019, but then our Captain walked out of camp a week before the battle. Since then, we have had more Captains than customers at Big Nose Kate's place. Our last two Captains have been wounded and sacked by friendly fire. Pray that I'm not the latest casualty. 

 

There are also rumors among the men, that I won't be allowed to refer the men to "men" or "soldiers" in the future. Instead, they will be referred to "mountain climbing people", or "wood chopping persons". The men are losing patience, and have openly questioned the General's war plans. The honorable Private Nelson was the first last year. Now Private Pittman has disclosed to the paper writers, that he believes we must attack deeper in enemy territory. I'm not sure that General Reich or Colonel Strausser are listening. 

 

Till next week. I must embark for sensitivity training now. 

 

Sending my love, 

 

Samuel George 

 

PS. I assure you my dearest Fiancée, I have never been to Big Nose Kate's place, just heard about it from the soldiers.

Let's let this schtick die already.

    • This is one of the most bizarre and complicated stories I’ve ever come across. But I give you my word, this is NOT about an entitled athlete.  I’d say so if it was.     Sheffler was doing what all the athletes were told to do if there was a problem.  He was in a car clearly marked that he was a player.  He had  credential that he showed.  All the players were told to drive around if there was any problem.      But it appears there was a miscommunication with the Louisville PD.  They didn’t send their best, they sent their junior varsity who were completely unprepared for what happened.  They didn’t know that the athletes had clearance to go around.  Turns out, ESPN was right behind Scheffler.  They were doing a feature on him.  And they said he did exactly what was instructed to do by PGA officials.      If this was an entitled athlete abusing law enforcement I’d be saying so.  Honestly, I would.  But I’ve read multiple stories and this is what I’ve pieced together.  
    • I liked what little we saw from Evan Hull in preseason last year. Hoping he can solidify himself as a good #2 back to spell for JT.
    • When I saw that I was stunned and not just for the Colts but the Jets??!! Granted the Jets are improved over last year but SIX primetime games. I was in New York once and that will hold true after I'm dead.
    • It turns out that he comes from a family and a school with very accomplished women. Not only is his mother a physicist, his sister is a Physician's Assistant who studied at Weill Cornell Graduate School right here on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NY. His paternal aunt is a senior vice president of a firm. And his graduating class at Georgia Tech had over 50 women graduate in industrial engineering.   He did not bother to mention any of that. He may be the least academically successful member of his family.    https://www.thedailybeast.com/harrison-butkers-atlanta-hometown-scolds-him-over-commencement-speech     That comes across loud and clear.   As for the school being Catholic, there are many Catholic schools that don't preach that. I wonder if Notre Dame would ever invite him to address grads. I doubt it. A group affiliated with the school said that Butker does not represent them. They said that instead of bringing people together, his address was divisive.     https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5502923/2024/05/18/harrison-butker-benedictine-sisters-jersey?source=user-shared-article
    • Yeah... I love how genuinely excited he is by this whole process. From videos coming into the building, to videos of the introduction to his helmet, to just any interview really... he seems so thankful and exuberant. Love his whole demeanor. There's very little to nothing that seems rehearsed or contrived like most of the prospects nowadays... This is not a dig at other players - they are all media coached and prepared so much in the pre-draft process that they lose a lot of their personality in front of the camera. I don't think this is the case with Laiatu.
