Seventy?

Oh man. No wonder.

There are some people here from only twenty years in my future, and they don't even know the major names involved with the war I'm currently fighting in! Galactic memory sure is short...

[mucked]

Individual memory -- [ dear lord, she nearly said human memory but soon caught herself up short ] -- is something of a mayfly. It persists in the present and merely vacations in the past when it sees fit to be entertained. I try not to take it to heart.

War, however. War tends to be one of those anthologies of stories that don't fade so easily. I'm surprised they don't remember those names. My career might be lost to the footnotes, but the recent war wasn't. Nor its generals. Its heroes.

[resnipstance]

I'm not in it for the heroics, but it's still pretty depressing. From what I understand, apparently there was a regime change and some extreme revisionist history.

[mucked]

-- Ah, well. That is a far more insidious beast than faded memories. Revisionists have particularly sharp blades. Redacted histories, rewritten stories...

[ she's done a bit of that herself, admittedly. ] I'm sorry. Said like that, it doesn't as though your side...won.
