      • General: Well, Parmenter, we've got to find an assignment befitting the scourge of Appomattox. Wormsbecker: Sir, they've gone through three commanding officers at Fort Courage. Two desertions and a nervous breakdown. General: Fort Courage, eh? Ah, good thinking, Wormsbecker. At a frontier post like that, he might be just the inspirational leader they need. Captain Parmenter, as of this moment, you are the commanding officer of F Troop. Edit
