Hmm. Oddly reminiscent of the iconic
"two hundred head of EM"
under the command of a mere corporal that was I-once-saw by any number of
barracks-mates, back in the day of the old black-boot Army. Kinda makes you
wonder whether the number was ever actually "two hundred," even back in the
day of the United States Colored Troops.
Youneverknow.
