This may seem like your typical "Anon in Equestria" story, but this time it happens to be a bit different than you might expect.
Having done a lot for his country, and most importantly his state, he had felt as though he had led a particularly long, if not eventful and sometimes brutal and unfair life. Having been in the United States military, even getting a chance to help make the government run more efficiently.
Months before his deathbed however, he is given the chance, the opportunity of a lifetime to not only help his own nation, but another nation across the multiverse when a magical freak accident goes wrong for Equestrias' most curious and yet most dangerous ponies.
Meanwhile, in Griffonia, tensions are beginning to heat up between the waring factions and Equestria may soon have its military tested once again not just by warring Griffons, but by those whom they may least expect still exist.
Let's see what wisdom, courage, and immense amount of cruelty can help turn a dying nation around, provided if he wants to stay in this seemingly luscious land of paradise first. All the while, the man must decide whether he can return home for good, or be stuck in this alternative dimension.
For better or for worse, both worlds will remember his name for generations to come.
Chapter updates may be infrequent, for all I know I have no idea where the heck to go with this story, but the rating may increase from T to M later depending on how much military violence gets involved in the story. This was a crack-fic idea thrown out there that I thought would be funny to make into reality.
Competent, at worst, passable prose.
Fluent in reading style.
Saw one error and corrected it.
Enjoyable story.
That semi-realistic painting of Canterlot in front of the Wanderer is gorgeous, what's the source?

Thanks! It's an original I made by combining two images in Paintdotnet
Here's the link if interested
I'll have to admit, the most interesting thing to me about this story, at least for now, is the character's age. Has there ever been an old man HIE? Weird thing for someone to comment about, but still.
