i added hover text at the bottom..
let me know what you think…!
Came through clear.
Two lines each applicable to one story.
Ya done good!
Damn! Betrayal by family is the worst of all!
I’ll admit, I did not see that coming for Gopi.
Damn!
May they burn in hell is right.
Half a league
Half a league
Half a league
Onward
Into the Valley of Death
Rode the Five Hundred……
The charge of the light brigade.
Has to be one of THE MOST MONUMENTAL
military cluster humps in history.
Total failure of command! All those troops
killed for nothing.
Custer’s Last Stand in a nut-shell,
although, some of the things I’ve read
about that man, if he would have survived
he would have been court-martialed
and shot.
But I’ve read that if the 7th Cav had had the repeating rifles the Army tried
to get after the Civil War (instead of the reliable, frugal single-shot rifles
they had) that some of the troopers might have survived until Benteen
arrived. Custer actually wasn’t a bad field commander. He actually had his
men in at least a somewhat defensible position. Benteen wasn’t that far
away. But there were just too many Sioux, many of whom were better
armed than Custer’s men. But still bean counters were at least partially
responsible for the massacre at Little Bighorn.
if I recall, the single-shot rifles weren’t all that reliable, mostly due to extraction problems.
In many cases, soldiers had to use their knives to remove the spent shells, and some dead
soldiers were found with spent shells in the chamber and a knife near the rifle.
It’s so sad that she had to live with that, I think
she needs to talk to Kathy as well as counseling.
Heh, well now we get some intel from the brother
and what it was meant for. Still, I can’t see the
Legion having a use for it, so I think it’s in the
best place for now.
I think we need a map. A border between France and Romania?
WTH happened to the world after the collapse?
Do we have a Polish – Chinese border too? 😉
They couldn’t pass through other countries on the way to Romania?
I was wondering the same thing myself.
I also wondered what the legion was doing in Europe.
My guess would be that we are SOME time after the incidents where
Romania joined the Empire (and Teresa got a ‘significant other’).
Naturally the Legion will expand into the member states/planets
over time, therefore also Romania…
Whatever had happened to Germany is anybody’s guess…
You’re right. With her western and eastern borders secured by
friendly nations, the only dangerous border is to the north.
Since the Legion been a low-level diplomatic force as well as a
skirmish fighting force, (“It’s an invasion force? Well, fall back
and call the Marines. This is their sort of shtick, anyway.”)
Which pretty much sums up their role in the Catian Slave Revolt.
So, yes, they’re all over the Empire, as well as outside it’s
borders, teaching oppressed people how to resist tyranny.
Gave me a start, too.
“France” and “Legion” together conjures up Beau Geste.
And I think of the Empire’s Legion as being a North American
thing, but it IS already planted on Catia, and it only make
sense that other kingdoms would use the same solution
for the same sorts of folk that Jerico (through Teresa) did.
Nowhere does it say they went from France directly into Romania.
They escaped from France, and were less than half a kilometer from
Romania when the Muslims caught up to them. Any number of
ex-countries, fiefdoms, new countries, barren zones could have been
between what was France and the new, smaller Romania.
Refugee’s know no borders. How many people have come to the USA
from China, Poland, Russia, and so on to escape war and oppression.
In TGW, Romania IS part of the Empire, same thing…
Gopi, your family doesn’t deserve to be well
remembered, and their crimes should be told!
You’re laying next to 2 lie detectors, use them.
Plus Mist could share your memories in images if need be.
That wouldn’t benefit Gopi, and might cause problems for her.
Debby and Chirk discussed this in panels 4 & 5 here:
(Just substitute “victim” for “slave”)

That I know of, I’ve only ever known one child molester, a guy who
lived up the street, and that only came out after he was arrested,
tried and convicted. For abusing his own daughters. He’s in the
slammer on eighteen counts. I don’t know what the total number of
years he was sentenced to, but it’s too few if he ever gets out.
The best defense against repeat child
abusers is a 6 foot dirt barricade.
Straight up above them?
With razor wire and 10,000 volt connection…
Sad thing is, most of them only get a few years in jail,
but in many cases the other inmates find out, it won’t
matter. I have a few friends that worked in a prison,
most times they wind up in solitary confinement just
to keep them alive.
I’ve had a few times where my name matched an offender
that’s on the list, even though they had a picture and
his age, I still had to show an ID or be arrested for
“not reporting my move” so if they survive, they never
have a moment’s peace. Sure they are still a risk, but
it doesn’t take long for people to find out who and
what they are.
In Georgia, the database is public and on line.
You can look up your county and see who’s living where,
with mugshots and criminal records.
Some FUGLY men and women on that list!
I just looked, and there are 88 within 15 miles of me.
I didn’t recognize any of them.
