They

[Williams Kris A SSgt 305 MDSS/SGSL]

I don't think I could say it any better than Quail does in the GR intro,
that 'we' are the preterite or common and 'they' are the elect or
anointed.

I appreciate the responses, lotsa short and pithy thoughts, and of
course 
T.'s opus. I'm not quite satisfied yet though, I think we're missing 
something, but I don't know what. I mean They're very strange, there's 
almost Lovecraftian overtones at times. I'll have to keep reading the
damn 
books I guess.
