That reminds me of a bad joke: How many Soldiers does it take to put up a flag? Sixteen! One to raise it and fifteen to tell him how to do it better next time.

Er…actually, that pretty much is all that flag detail is. Granted, we also have to fold the flag in the evening, but…that’s it.

Reminds me of the situation on the last go-round when Our Glorious Leader told me that only the general had the authority to change my pass to one day earlier than it had randomly landed on. One day earlier was the difference between being the best man at my brother’s wedding and missing the whole thing.

The good general was rather confused (and angry) as to why she would say that as it was well within her authority to change pass dates.

It was a beautiful wedding.

I’m glad you got Christmas back.

What makes this story even worse is the fact that I picture Flag Detail to pretty much involve putting up the flag and taking it down again every day. I’m sure there’s more to it than that.

Either way, this whole situation makes it seem like they took Sisyphus, and put him in a Kafka novel, and are now filming the movie with you as the lead. Maybe I should be sending _you_ care packages?

You mean what other shady shit than making you pay for your own awards and use the friend of someone there as your supplier?
