[Lindale]

Now that I think about it, one of our captains in ROTC looks like an Easterling (except that he has his hair trimmed short), and has the attitude of such. And perhaps it's because of his attitude that I call him such, because I've always thought that Tolkien might have based Easterlings on... Asians, with all the shortness and not-being-as-fair-as-other-Men business. But that officer, he especially relishes his "superiority" over us, even if we're eating outside the military science complex and other officers act normal and sane, and that made me think of the Easterling Brodda.
