[@matthewwhalen7538]

No dude. He is chaotic good, he helps das Burgermeister. his army would hit yours, if he could, but he broke his foot on a rubber duck, jah. U sure were fooled. Holy Roman Empire, Prussian Empire, Germany, they were never a joke on the battlefield. I guess, some people they see the shows and the fun, they get ideas. which can be dangerous. because thats not reality. i did kill the joy. it was kind of my job. *tips hat* have a nice day. Burg means something much different in German. It only sounds silly, because. kids show. Hamburg, hamburger. Burg Meister. He needed someone to speak with, to keep his sanity. Thus, grimsley found a job. & the rest ? is History. His is a face, that has seen countless real warz & most people just focused on santa when they watched the old movie, many once missed. I was an even weirder kid. From a young age i knew, his was a life of sacrifice & selfless duty. Far from easy, the complete opposite. YeT. he was his own boss. & answered to no one. After what he seen ? melting faces off of clowns, is just child's play... is the point many missed here in this old epic....when i got older ?.. Schindler's List. A film that every generation should see, when there old enuf. Then the mirth leaves & the Reality sets in. of *what once was* ... in some parts of the wild world. . all armies are butchers, its their job. why mince words. if we fired all the butchers, we would go hungry or be taken over by a bigger army. inevitably. Wood stock would be ruined. It would Turn into Burning Man. Heh.
