End-run. I'm trying to set up Tom to DESERVE her ranking on the Cyber's top 9 list. The marker is her "nerf" KA-Bar. Also, she's a bit bitter that [In my drafts for "Whys and Wherefors? Never Mind"] The US Gov't refused her and her wife re-entry as "contraband material" due to her catgirling. Granted this was at the height of the kerfluffle over the Grovers Corners launch, but still...
Regardless, Tom is playing the "'crusty gunnery sergeant' versus the 'new recruit pukes' in a training exercise" schtick here. There's definitely gonna be a round of drinks on Tom [take that how you will] when this is over. It's a combination of showing off and getting these guys ready to face the future of warfare 'Daneside.
And that reminds me... fennish military decorations [Purple Heart, Victoria Cross, etc.] need to be discussed in a Wiki Page thread.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
