Secure a Building

I had a long rant planned on our military branches after reading an article on sub-standard Army barracks conditions, but then I read this old joke in the comments and think I'll post it instead:

What happens when you ask some military personnel to "secure a building"? Well, it would depend on what branch they were from.

If you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.

Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire.

The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.


Of course the Army didn't make the cut for that joke. My rant would've said something like that, and also would've been not have been too kind to the Air Force, like the joke. Maybe later.

No. Hire "civilian contractors" to secure the building, so that the money comes out of a different budget, and we can obfusicate the true costs of securing the building, so that the taxpayers and the selfimposedignorant and selfrighteouskillthemallfuckingbrownpeople citizens are kept in the dark about the true costs, in lives and dollars, of securing that building.

Whew. Sorry for venting on your blog. Not really. :->
