Castro's Folly

Meet the commander of Operation Rabenga:

General Carl Stiner seems right out of central casting, gruff, outspoken, right down to the Tennessee drawl.

A bit of background, he served in Vietnam of course and later commanded the 82nd Airborne Division and then XVIII airborne corps where he planned the invasion of Panama. In the World War 1990 universe he hasn't had much to do. I originally thought about tapping him to command Pacific Storm but chose 'Mad Max' Thurman instead. He clashed heads with Schwarzkopf (in our universe), but so did everybody else.

If I made him up people would think he were a cliche, but he's not. That's the man.

The book itself has passed the 30k word work, about halfway.

There is something so American about a four star general addressing the Eagle Scouts.
