Oh, but by this time there's only an eight-year gap to account for, remember; seven years of war in Ishval, before I became involved.

As the war was coming to a close, however, it became increasingly clear that I had a few irreconcilable differences with my commanding officers. [In that they wanted to remain alive, and Kimblee quite wanted them dead.] As such, I was quickly - ah, how to put it politely? - forcefully removed from service.
