Captain Chet Lawson's Snake Oil Revue BIO!!!!
Though almost every other detail regarding his personal history and political dealings is fraught with speculation and controversy, it is by now generally accepted common knowledge that, at some point in the later months of 2009, Captain Chet Lawson emerged from the seclusion of his stately home in the Indiana swamplands and once again became the center of a media storm, the likes of which he’d not enjoyed since his widely documented salad days in the 1920’s and 30’s. The noted American mercenary and troubadour’s return to the public eye was the result of a calculated attempt to reclaim the long-damaged goodwill that had once showered upon him from all corners of the great, American Continent. He’d been living in semi-voluntary exile for over a decade, laying low and refusing to see anyone except for his personal assistant, Pum Sirloin, with whom he’d been quietly conspiring to regain his rightful position at the forefront of public awareness.
The cause of his retirement from the social sphere had been the humiliating controversy that had surrounded his personal history during the late nineteen-nineties. At that time, a group of questionably credentialed historians had dredged up a bevy of half-truths and convolutions designed to cast a shroud of disgrace on the life of this true American hero. Captain Lawson had, according to most of the spokespeople of this notoriety-starved assemblage of dusty academics, managed to devote allegiance to both sides of virtually every American war and social upheaval since the nineteenth century.
At first, Lawson tried to fight these allegations with simple statements of honest truth:
When asked why he’d served as a general in both the Northern and Confederate armies during the civil war, he provided a perfectly reasonable response, “I did not support any of the ideologies of the South. However, the blue uniform brought out the color of my eyes but the grey accentuated my cheekbones.”
When interrogated upon the subject of his ambiguous allegiances during Operation Desert Storm, he stated simply and honestly. “Bush Sr. had the better policies, nobody is arguing that. But, let’s face it, Saddam had better hats.
