"So what else do we know about this guy?"
"Well, one thing – you won’t believe it..."
"What’s that?"
"They say he recieved the Purple Heart after the third war."
"This your idea of a joke?"
"Afraid not."
The third war didn’t leave injured soldiers. Might sound humane, and if you consider efficient killing to be humane, it was. Your ship takes a strange-matter torp in trans-planetary flight, you don’t limp home with a broken leg.

"But..."
"And if not, he’s got problems enough without us at the door."
