1. I am very interested in the military in B5, what
they are doing?

All kinds of things. Some good, some not so.

Does the Earth Alliance military simply follow the
President, or does the Admiralty have its own mind?

Any military must respect the chain of command. You can't have the
military setting its own agenda. The president proposes, the military
disposes.

Will the EA do anything that the Senators and President
says?

Well, the EA military must obey the President as Commander in Chief.
The EA government is always quibbling. They're like that.

What does the EA military feel about the loss of its
telepaths?

The EA military hasn't lost any telepaths that I know of. Don't know
what this refers to.

What does the EA military think about the station B5?

"Cushy job. And they're a bunch of loose cannons over there. Maybe
we better see if we can help straighten things out."

You basically said the Manbire military is under the
control of the shadow (rather simple view I know) is
the earth military the same way?

No, I never said that, and the Minbari are NOT under Shadow control.

My next question is on getting your show on military
T.V. The network is called AFARTS, Armed Forces
A(something) Radio and Television something something.

Anyway, AFARTS does not show commercials. After not
seeing stateside commercials for over 5 years, you
actually start missing them, anyway, they don't do
advertisements, and basically ask for the show. DS9,
Bay watch etc. either give it to AFARTS or gives it to
them for next to nothing.

I was wondering if you were even willing to enterin the
ideal. If so, we have to start a write in "beg
campaign" to get worthless AFARTS (actually they are
O.K., but it is a sailors right to complain) to talk to
someone. Last big thing was getting the Rush Limbaugh
show, on the radio, that had to go to congress, before
the FoB plants/sympatiers in the pentagon/Admiralty
would allow it.

I'm up for it, we've talked to Warners about it, but it's their call,
not mine.

The military uses telepaths on a loan-out or special intelligence
basis, rather than within the core units of soldiers and officers.

You'll hear the soul hunter's line again this season, in a
flashback, that may illuminate this; and there's more about Neroon as
well this year. As for G'Kar...people do things in war they can always
justify.

Home Guard found other venues. Bester's first name is Alfred.
And Jack was speaking correctly; his contacts were not psi-corps in
nature.

He'll be mentioned again, yes, in the very next episode, in fact.
