Editorial interpretation

An eager cartoon character answers Can Do to a deliberately sketchy mission-partner request. The satire tests the limits of the find-a-way-to-yes ethos; replies also discuss improving the meme template. Member statements are preserved as statements, not corroborated accounts of misconduct or service history.
