Well... it IS a free country (and a free republic at that!), so I suppose you're entitled to do what you want... but, as a suggestion, please take the armor off first. Wouldn't want to have that damaged, now would we?
And for the love of Mod, don't rid ethe trebuchet commando. VK eyes tend to be sensitive and we don't want to go blind!
