    It’s probably from playing wayyyy too much of Mirror’s Edge as a kid, but I always romanticized the idea of a courier.

      Same! My favourite character in Last of the Mohicans was the courier dude they sent out to die 😂😂

    Old Roman armies had about a 4:1 support to infantry ratio. Today’s military is thought to be up up at least 8:1.

    I’m a propagandist, by trade, and a spy by necessity.

    That said, if you need a can of beans heated or someone 300 meters away or closer made less alive, I don’t shy away from that either.

    But I’m not a fast runner, so unless you give me wheels, I’m probably not your courier.
