Now, we tend to think of your modern Hun as a throughly modern, liberal meritocratic, thoroughly imbued with progressive attitudes and determined to avoid the traditional militarism of the past.
Then, I noticed the name of the Heer Major General in charge ....
"He comes from the Frankish noble family of Buttlars and is the son of Ruprecht von Butler , Major General a. D., nephew of Peter von Butler , Lieutenant General a. D. and the younger brother of Carl-Hubertus von Butler , Generalleutnant a. D".

An interesting article on French news journal this morning about the frustrations of US workers trying to work alongside French management in EDF. They said how difficult it was to get anyone to do anything immediately, that any requests took days to be acknowledged. Well, this is absolutely true - it's a French sickness (not 100% across the board - some are very on the ball) that can be infuriating: the times I need to contact the services, water, electricity, and generally any other largeish organisation - half the time the fuckers can't even be bothered to reply. Macron's trying to change this and he's being damned for it.

I wonder if they'll do that future generations Hillsborough Survivor thing. Mind you, a Scouse generation is probably about 10 years so it might fade into the past by 2030 or so.
