“Commanders on the Ground” 0

The Current Federal Administrator said it again today:

Commanders on the ground.”

And with every utterance of that phrase, he sinks deeper into sophistry and deception.

(As if that could be possible.)

The Current Federal Administrator claims that his hands are tied by what the “Commanders on the Ground” say or do not say.

No move can be made without permission of the “Commanders on the Ground.”

The Commander-in-Chief is hostage to a flock of generals and colonels, simple because they are “on the Ground.”

What he fails to mention, of course, is that he put them on the blinking ground to begin with.

What a marvelous technique for avoiding responsibility for one’s actions.

Jeez, next time (I hope there’s not a next time) I get pulled for speeding, maybe I can say that the “Commanders on the Ground” failed to inform me that what I was doing was wrong.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
