>From Bob Filman at Lockheed:

    --attributed by Washington Technology (a beltway industry paper) to James
    Schlesinger (a senior DoD Executive) from a recent Washington DC luncheon
    keynote  address;  (remarks are paraphrased to some degree):

    --"In managing the DoD there are many unexpected communications problems:
    For instance, when the Marines are ordered to "secure a building", they form
a
    landing party and assault it.  On the otherhand, the same instructions will
    lead the Army to occupy the building with a troop of infantry, and the Navy
    will characteristically respond by sending a yeoman to assure that the
    building lights are turned out.   When the Air Force acts on these
    instructions, what results is a 'three year lease with option to
purchase'."
