New Ah. The veteran gag.
I didn't find it offensive, per se, I just didn't find it convincing. All I could think is, "that veteran would kick Greg's ass for trying to pull that stunt." :)

Oh well.

One thing though, it would have been a lot less offensive if Sept 11 hadn't been the day it was... and I suspect Illiad (like Jeff Darlington and almost everyone else in the webcomics world but me) does all of his strips well in advance...

New I wasn't offended, myself.
Just kind of disappointed.

I don't know what he's going to do. Perhaps he'll have the vets convince Greg how Tech Support Ain't Shit compared to wearing your best friend's brain for a week.

So I'm not offended - yet. But he'd better hurry if he's going to. :)

Its just similar in tone to many other strips, that don't have that aspect to them.

And its possible he's been savng the storyline - he did change it radically after the attack, being in the missile silo.

But its aggravating a lot of people, thus my comment.
