Article 2 - Trope done right

It's 2 in the morning but I have to post this:
Article 2 on Equestria Daily
The reason I'm making a thread is because this trope plays with my pet peeve trope for pony fics, 'Human appears in equestria and become friends with erryone!'. This is the first one I've read that didn't feel like an author insert and actually had character.
Sleep now.

Ah, I recall that. I concur, though I had an issue with the way the marine flipped out and instantly went on a hostage-taking escape attempt. I know they're stereotyped as meatheads, but really? They're going to pick someone that prone to hasty overreaction for an experimental test flight?
