Wow, here three times in one week. I'm getting to be a reguler again aint I;)
: There's one problem with this: he speaks about officers
: in the third person: "Our officers seemed
: unsympathetic until the people returned with nine
: young pigs and ten dozen loaves of bread."
Yes, but I didn't say he was an officer exactly, more like someone in high esteem or authority. Or the officers he refers to could be higher ups, like Generals or perhaps officers with noble blood. Bungie never did flesh out exactly how the army worked.
If it was like old age armys in history, even up to the middle of the 20th century, your social class had alot to do with how far you advanced in rank.
Here is a wrench to throw in my own argument. He could have come from the Free Citys and fought for the lenght of the western conflict if he was with a mercinary company (unlikely I think) or joined up with the Southern military dispite where he came from. (I actualy wrote a story dealing with this, although not with the Journal Writer specificly).
: Well, his journal did make it back eventually. Cruniac
: recovered it from the Baron's library and Garrick
: brought it to Madrigal. Well, maybe it didn't reach
: Covenant but it at least got west.
Yeah, but I was thinking about right after the end of TFL... hey, I'd like to know how the journal made it back to the west anyway. That would be a good story, though I doubt the two survivers we see in the last cut sceen would have brought it along with them even if they knew how to find it.
Lastly, I do know that my spelling isn't the best that has ever graced this forum, but that's what spell checkers are for right;)
