Uh, no idea what's up with Essanman. As to another WWII book, Matt stated
before that GD is a one shot supplement. Course if the demand is there, well
I don't see Matt and AEG not making something if the demand is strong
enough.

Well, for one thing a secret ID allows the "troops" to protect their loved
ones from being used as leverage. Also latter in the US it becomes a law,
and Sparky/Superior is their to enforce the law. The Law says you must
register, and that in and of itself is not really an evil thing, it's what
the gov. does with that information. Also Superior believes as do a lot of
Delta/Alpha that if you have these gifts that you should use them to better
the country. So I don't find this bit hard to believe.

Alpha, I don't know, Delta yes.
