[Ansteorra] Armor inspections at Gulf Wars

[Jean Paul de Sens]

The Glenn Abhenn Earl Marshal, Sir Rey, sent me this:

"I was standing over near the guy when he got knocked out.  It was excessive
but the guy was mortafied and appologized to him then and to the marshals.
 The guy was a little out of it still but was standing on his own two feet
when the guy appologized and he did answer him."

I was fighting up on the left side of the hill when this happened, and
remember the injury.  It was *very* scary to watch, as we saw that the
fighter was down and not moving.  I'm glad to hear that he is relatively ok,
and like the fighter, very mortified that he was hit that hard.

Now, I had the opportunity to fight against a good size unit of Japanese
guys in the "Battle of the 50" as well as the ravine battle, and can pretty
well verify that the gist was "stab the japanese quick, cause they are good
spear men" not "beat them up for not being Western European".

I save that behavior for my former squire brother, Yoshii :)

Sieur Jean Paul de Sens
