Indeed. My bad. I read "This sums up his character perfectly", instead of "This sums up this character perfectly", which is, of course, what you wrote. I shall have to remember to wear my bifocals when reading future posts.

In so far as his experience being that of a "girl friday"...perhaps, but I wouldn't bet on it. It is true, that in a rank heavy environment, a Colonel can be relegated to a glorified file fetcher. I was assigned to SAC Headquarters when I was in the Air Force during the 1980's. I've seen officers that, anywhere else, would command an entire Air Force Base, reduced to little more than office coffee bitch, due to a top heavy rank structure. I seriously doubt, however, that his entire military experience can be summed up as that of a girl friday. You don't get an eagle on your shoulder without having a little "background" to support it.
