It's good to note that all armies have the same problem. Right after we were deployed we got an officer fresh out of West Point.

We wound up calling him the Green Monster

Because to try and impress people he yelled nonstop all the time. It didn't make much of an impression on us..But we all developed selective deafness, so the louder he yelled the less work got done.

He didn't like the cold and mud very much,and he finally was replaced with a more pleasant overseerear.

Something tells me Chewbacca was far more loveable than the Green Monster. And it being Cyprus, we didn’t have any real cold or mud to deal with even though it was winter. All armies are created equal but some are more equal than others…
