That’s…

On the one hand, you get to be the guy that let everyone in and ensured victory. Couldn’t have done it without ya.

On the other, you crawled through shit to do it. You’re now forever the battalion’s shit crawler, and probably smell like it even when you don’t.

You’d be both celebrated and ridiculed til the end of your days.

I turn the tide of the war but am I called tide-turner Terry?

Be quiet turd-tunneler Terry.

How do you even add that to your regimental colors? If a commemorative medal is struck, what does it look like?
