    The generals may be a little absurd but Toph's dad was protecting Toph for a reason....The generals are stuborn. I agree but not everyone in the earth kingdom. Remember...the earth kingdom is full of REGULAR TOWNPEOPLE. Lets respect them, they didn't do anything.

    The dude didnt say he was dumb for protecting his daughter, he was dumb for sending an idiot anc an old gut to catch a kick ass earthbender and the Avatar.

    But that general of Bah Sing Sei??wins the Dee Dee Dee cake. That drils smallest hight whas about?? three fire nation Tanks, And the guy was suprised that they couldnt hole it with rocks!! Well no DIp Sherlock its Giagantic,

    Its dumb to say all earth nation are idiots though, thats just racist, I'ts just that most of the idiots that we have seen in the show have been earthbenders, (no wonder they're losing)

    THANK YOU. I indeed said that the dumbness was "sending an idiot and an old gut to catch a kick ass earthbender and the Avatar." Thank you for noticing this.

    lol at your comments on the general of Ba Sing Se . . .

    And yeah, I know not all earth nation are idiots, I was just being facetious.

    I think that the earth kingdom generals and other figures of importance are actually a clever metaphor designed to point out the incompitence in our own figures of authority and how it is the people behind the scenes that get things done not the public figures but the ones that risk their lives to save the day


    WHOA that was deep and it totally makes sense! excellent observation! cough*Bush*cough

    Though this might count as speculation, wouldn't it be cool if Iroh bumped into him on the street or something?

    General: "Don't I know you?"

    Iroh: "Um, no..."

    On another note, how General Sung ever advanced to that rank is a bit unbelievable. Funny though.

    He was promoted by the "Superiors" cause he was a good motivational speaker.

    some ppl just don't age well...he probably was more competent when he was younger, can't say for sure...maybe he was just the son of some great General...

    Reminds me of this story I once read. It was about a soldier who gets promoted for really doing nothing and later he has to give a command but he doesnt know anything and ends up getting everyone killed.

    The EK feels safe behind their walls, and this has weakend their skills as commanders and leaders, or as Patton once said, "Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man." the people of the EK have grown dim to the outside world and what is really going on.
