Greetings from Western Theater Command

I just wanted to introduce myself. I am the new Western Theater Commander. I hope to work closely with all of you and especially the Army Commands. I have an open tent flap policy so any comments/concerns feel free to email me, but you should check with your Corps/Army CO's first, because they may have the answer.

I wish to keep the well oiled machine going, and make sure your paperwork is done smoothly. Basically most of you may not hear from me often. Most likely through the forums such as this, as I will tend to work with the higher commands.

I will be the paper pusher making sure you guys don't have to worry about much. [:D]

(I will be contacting you all by email later tonight or tomorrow, I just await response on my message to General Malone.)</center>

Gentlemen of the Union! This is hopeful news! I predict that the rebs will spend so much time trying to read Gen. Ludwig's neverending flow of words that they'll forget to set pickets, order ammo and other small bits and pieces of the military art!

Now just a darn minute there you Yankee, what do you mean <b><i>neverdending flow of words</i></b>, why by gosh if you ain't just lookin for a fight, but then I guess you never really wanted a fight after all, too many of them there Rebels running around on the Peninsula!

<br />Gen. Ludwig … Suh <salute>

It is with great sadness, and yes, I have to admit, a little embarrassment, that I make this report. I am fully aware that I am violating my chain of command in this action but I thought it of sufficient importance that I report to you directly. I am ready to accept any discipline my actions may warrant. [xx(]

Suh … I do apologize to you that Gen. Moose has reported to me that he ransacked your tent. He stole your beautiful grey uniforms and replaced them with that ugly blue stuff. He searched out your hairpieces and replaced them with cow pies. He then sabotaged your liquor cabinet by replacing the contents of every bottle with … never mind … you do not want to know. I questioned him at length as to why he would do such dastardly deeds. All he would say is, Gen. Bangma … Gen. Mallory … Gen. Cuneo … Gen. Golen … Gen. Simms … kiss … kiss. I honestly do not know what he is referring too. [:D][:D][:D]

Trust me suh … I have given Gen. Moose the greatest amount of discipline possible short of placing him in front of the firing squad. Yes suh … you would be proud of me for the courage and daring I presented to him in light of the given situation. I patted him on the back for a job well done. [:o)][:o)][:o)]

Welcome aboard suh. Glad to have you with us. We just hope that you are glad after a couple of months or so?????? [:p][:p]

General Smith,

How you guys go about making sure General Moose is up to army regulations is your deal, but how many times do I have to tell you, you shouldn't be so kind to Fld. Lt. Quick! [:p]

Gen Dee Dubya...

You do realize that is no more fearsome way for you to hurt assault Gen. Ludwig's morale than to limit his verbosity. Take away his women, take away his booze, even take away his bullets, and he'll be as happy as can be. Take away his ability to barrage us in a torrent of words? He may be suicidal soon.
