They had no choice. When they got hold of the mike they realized that they neither knew the words nor the tune. They had nothing but Clintonian non-philosophy for guidance, with a bit of Marxism and “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” foreign policy. A bit thin to say the least – and even they did not know what it meant, anyway. Ultimately modern Leftism became so PC that it could not even admit that PC was a good thing.

Programmer: I have given some thought on how the traditional military principles of shock, surprise, concentration of forces, etc. might apply to the military use of space. But it has dawned on me that is merely part of a larger problem of how it all applies to technological advancement. You have not known true frustration until you have had some logistics types explain to you that space boosters that are only launched from two places in the CONUS have to be supported so that anyone at any USAF base worldwide can order spare parts for them. “Because that is the way we do it!” And because that is the only way we know how to do it.

But now I think that “tactical/technological innovation” should be a basic principle right up there with the rest of the older ones. Although how you would explain that to people who think that the real mission is getting your Forms 601B in NLT 0900 on Monday with no errors, I have no idea.
