The administration has tried, has put in a good effort, to treat our surveillance on retired GI Joe Unit members with if not respect, at least professionalism. Some of these Joes have plotted against us; some have taken actual paramilitary action against the Lewis administration. Some ore truly dangerous terrorists. We simply do not know what to do about Tom-Henry Ragan. Ragan accepted early retirement on the condition that his payout included an ice cream budget. The administration decided it was simpler to divert part of his cash payments to an account with Brigham's Ice Cream. Since that time, surveillance on Ragan has found he does two things: feeds his sweet tooth, and uses a home-made flamethrower on old cars in a burned out pit of a junkyard in Warwick, Rhode Island. We don't think he's motivated enough to actually work against the administration; we do believe he is unwell enough to burn down the entire state of Rhode Island.
"Ice Cream Soldier is never beating those war crime allegations. Do you know that even Hawk doesn't know how Ragan was assigned to the Joes? He just showed up one day with a costume that looked like it was stolen from the set of the Black Hole and went to work. None of us hung out with him. I don't know if he has a wife or kids. I'm not entirely sure he's not a serial killer. But what he's doing is scaring the hell out of Lewis's goons, and that works in our favor. An ice cream obsessed, heavily PTSD soldier setting cars on fire in a dump of a city outside a dump of a city? You can't PAY for that level of psy-ops. Do I want him over for a game of gin rummy? No. He does make a mean barbecue though. Those short ribs? To die for."
