Sic Semper Tyrannis

"Who loveth best.."

Seeking a moment of relief from the intensity of the storm system surrounding the Washington Beltway, I offer this short story by Alan Farrell which reaches levels of Kafkaesque "insight" unseen for some time.

The Major Won The Croix de Guerre.."

This story is the work of Brigadier General Alan Farrell who is a distinguished professor of French at my alma mater, VMI.  Dr. Farrell served as a sergeant in USMACVSOG in Vietnam after receiving his doctorate in French literature from Tufts University and study at the Sorbonne.  His mastery of the Montagnard French spoken by the hill people of SE Asia is remarkable.

I am not Major Grunwald.
