BTW, What's the full name of the Colonel, since his name is rarely mentioned in the story?

Interesting. More developments that I didn't see, Missing issues. So the ILR is not the monolithic "evil Empire" that was the initial perception. At least, not completely.The colonel is a "normal" family bunny, though there seems to be an "radical" element working towards an all out resumption of the war with the Confed. Wheels within wheels.....WCJ

The daughter is a cute thing, typical teenager...And, a typical O-6 , while at the top end of the pay-scale, he is not , in any way , rich. Not that his daughter has any concept of that reality. LOL WCJ
