Listen up, soldier! This war is no bed of cherries! One minute you’re sipping scotch at the Blackjack table, the next minute enemy troops are raiding the casino! Now it’s up to you to get my brass out of here! They issued maps of the escape route, but I didn’t get one because I was at a . . . staff meeting. It’s up to you to drive us across the battlefield to safety. Good luck, soldier!
