... and that led to the death of the flying bunny. In other news Admiral Wilhem von Sturben, Chancellor of Defense, has announced a new plan to expand the Armed Forces. This includes adding two 160,000 men to the Army, the commisioning of thirty fleets (all which use Hamptonian ships) which brings the number of fleets to 100, and the reduction of the Rosian Air Corp. One pilot says of this that "this is insane, we are useful to the defense of the Rosian State and pretty soon we will have no Air Corp" but Wilhem retorted "that the Navy needs new pilots and that you will keep your job anyway", of course it's hard to say if it's the majority opinion. When asked how Wilhem will gain these soldiers, he responded "by doing a major recruitment drive and if worse comes to worse, a temporary draft" he meant it as a joke but Rosians are fearful, they do not want a re-make of the 70s. It other news, John von Schlong was almost killed today...
