Office #18, All Day Monday

A new semester and new class meant Tyler should probably actually go to his office and do work, especially since he still needed to brush up on his own history before he could inflict his knowledge on anyone else.
Mostly, this meant he was paging through A People's History of the United States and counting how many ways people who didn't look like him had gotten screwed over. The answer seemed to be "a lot."
The office door was open.

"Apparently, getting most of your men killed is considered a measure of heroics. Or, at least, it was in my time."

Date: 2009-01-06 03:24 am (UTC)He crossed his arms over his chest, making himself comfortable in his seat. He was past the point of having to pick his brain, now. He could just soak something new in, perhaps.
"Nothing like a class on reform to start the second half of a semester."

Date: 2009-01-06 03:39 am (UTC)The name 'World War' had him somewhat disconcerted. The fact that there was a number stuck to the end of it bothered him even more. "Sounds big. Sounds like a class."

Date: 2009-01-06 03:58 am (UTC)... It took him a moment to attempt to piece together the possible meanings of the word.
"A war fought from the sky?"
There had been attempts to get man into the air since well before Algren's time, but sustained flight was, alas, still but a dream. The notion of fighting a battle as a bird might very nearly appealed to him. Nearly.
He trusted a horse far more, he decided.

Almost.

Date: 2009-01-07 11:50 am (UTC)"It would seem that the more I learn about this day and age, the less novel it is to find myself here." He nodded toward the book and then held out his hand.
He could handle gruesome.
"What next?"
