The Commander Guy Sees His Future

Funny, looking back at those days, when The Commander Guy would give a speech, before a wildly hooting-and-hollering audience, only to discover that his preferred location to deliver said speeches were military bases and institutions.

Cold shoulder?

Jesus, there was enough iciness there that would have had Mr. Freeze melting with envy.

I wonder if they made him shine their shoes before the photo, or go out and get coffee for everyone?
