This G2 must be a Democrat – small dead animals

This looks more like the proposed financing for ObamaCare than a plan to win hearts and minds in Obama’s Afghanistan.
Ah, t’hell with it, wing another Hellfire at that adobe on the left.

And now . . . Power Point.

They need John Madden to figure interpret that play.

‘When we understand that slide, we’ll have won the war,’ General Stanley McChrystal, the US and NATO force commander, remarked wryly when confronted by the sprawling spaghetti diagram in a briefing.

When you’re more interested in War as a System, this is what results. Staff College Graduates!

Fred, don’t want to be picky, but in Canadian military doctrine artillery and engineers are “combat support arms”.

I got lambasted years ago when I did a presentation and put up a slide (pre-powerpoint days) that had way too many numbers on it.
“Each overhead”, thundered my mentor “should stay up a minimum of one minute, a maximum of two. If you can’t read the words (and numbers) in two minutes, the slide has too much information, and your talk will be considered a failure”
I stuck to those rules for the last two or three decades, and my talks have always earned compliments from my audiences.
The powerpoint screen shown here should result in some thundering against the silly twit who drew it.

Sums up that they don’t know what they’re doing there and need to pull out.

When I saw that, I thought, “sheesh, a schematic diagram for a video lottery terminal.”
There is no way any rational person could derive useful information from a hopelessly-crowded diagram like that. Diagrams are supposed to act as an aid to understanding, not as a barrier.

And that’s just the working draft. They’ll find that among the ruins of the West after Islam crushes us.
Under my plan you only needed one PowerPoint slide: “BOOM!!”

Power-Point is the refuge of people who have no clue what they are doing and no way to explain it.

Minuteman,
Must be me just getting old(er) . . . back when I was a “Gravel Tech” they were equal brothers in arms.
Figures if you played on the two way range it was combat not just combat support.
New days, new ways. . .

Hey! I’ve seen that before!
Oh yeah…isn’t that the same pattern Gore and Suki use all the time?

At first glance thought, ‘oh no, not another IPCC computer model output’.
Seriously though, it’s as clear as mud, so they could reuse it. They’re big on recycling t-paper no?
