re: #436 pingjockey

I have a little story stashed somewhere about the ‘PLAN’.
Something like this…In the begining the plan came down and the troops said this is shit! Next level said it stinks, by the time it got back to management the plan was found to be like fertilizer and aid growth. This is how the PLAN became POLICY.

Siegfried Sassoon’s “The General”:

“Good-morning; good-morning!” the General said
When we met him last week on our way to the line.
Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of ’em dead,
And we’re cursing his staff for incompetent swine.
“He’s a cheery old card,” grunted Harry to Jack
As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack.

But he did for them both by his plan of attack.
