The Armed Services
One reason the Armed Services have trouble operating jointly is that they don't speak the same language.
For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.
Army personnel would occupy the building so no one could enter.
Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.
The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.
War is too serious a matter to entrust to military men. --Georges Clemenceau
During World War II the U.S. government used 260 million pounds of instant coffee.
