A comic panel from a page of SLOP I'm working on...scrapped the last attempt.
He needs a name though. I'll take suggestions from anyone who smokes a pipe...smokes tobacco in a pipe. :)

NO! Don't sign! Don't sign!
Bo Gritz is taken already, unfortunately. Since he looks to be smoking a corncob, I suggest the last name MacArthur- no relation, he just mimics that habit of the more-or-less great general out of admiration-- and a frustrated delusion that he too would have been a great general if he had only had the breaks, if he'd just known somebody, if he'd belonged to the right club or gone to the right school.
Real first name unknown, but he probably goes by Duke or Butch.
Normally a recruiter would be a sergeant, I think. Duke MacArthur is a Captain, quite old for his rank, and acting as a recruitment officer in the most remote and godforsaken backwater of Texarkoma. That alone should tell you how badly he screwed up when he was on combat duty.
Just what he did wrong is unknown, at least on the sunburned dead-end streets of the town he's called home for the last several years. Some say he took it upon himself to lead his men in an unauthorized counterpunch against a night attack. It was the kind of leadership from the front that might have won him medals (whatever the cost to his men) if it hadn't turned out to be his taking the enemy's bait and leading his men into an ambush.
Others say that enemy villagers, and not-so-enemy villagers, tended to disappear in the area he commanded. Especially young women and older girls.
Whatever his mistake, or mistakes, he does pretty well filling his quota. With the Texarkola farm economy in the tank, there are any number of poorly educated, super-patriotic youngsters ready to sign on to save their country from the commie threat. And if he's a little bit eager to ease Army standards-- if some of his recruits aren't as bright or as educated as they're supposed to be, if some have less than clean records or give evidence of being a bit unstable-- well, there's a war on. Whatever he's done to slip questionable recruits into the system, it hasn't gotten him into any trouble. Yet.
