Capt. Richard N. Jenson: What are you doing there, soldier?
Soldier Trying to get some sleep, sir.
Patton: Well, get back down there, son. You’re the only son of a bitch in this headquarters who knows what he’s trying to do.

You want ongoing military incompetence that could result in the end of America to be concealed from us?

“o be concealed from us?”

I want it to be concealed from the enemy, too! If they tell us they are telling the enemy as well.

“only a chainlink fence and an occasional roving security patrol to protect it.”

Many, many, moons ago, during a TDY and after a long night of AF drinking, I accidently ended up on the ramp at Minot, in the middle of a raging blizzard. It only took about two minutes before I saw several headlights through the snow, and several weapons pointed at my head.

Things must have changed dramatically from the 80’s.
