I gotta agree tho' on the incompetence of many in government. You wanna see something run in the most inefficient manner possible just turn it over to a bureaucracy.
If anyone was going to spend all that effort on a bug. Ebola makes more sense than Hiv. So does smallpox. Bubonic plague, and a bunch of other biological bombs. Just my speculative opinion.
Yeah that's right, Sard; It's all the fault of them-thar neegras havin' same-sex marriages with Chimps. They're to blame for everything. They're all Gall-durn Dimocrats anyways, right?...
FYI, he was long retired and 11 months away from his meeting with a fellow riding a pale horse and carrying an scythe and an hourglass. He didn't give two schitz about his career. He was more concerned about making his peace before Congestive Heart Failure caught up with him. And as far as knowing something? He saw combat action in Korea & Vietnam and earned more ribbons, bronze stars & Legions of Merit with oak leaves than you had merit badges. One doesn't go from an enlisted grunt to bird colonel sitting pretty in the Pentagon without knowing what's what.
When someone with his resume tells you there's dark secrets in the dungeons of our government, you shut the hell up and listen closely.
