Default Communication Problems


One reason the Military Services have trouble operating jointly is that they
don't speak the same language.

For example, If you told Navy Personnel to secure a building they would turn off
the lights and lock the doors.

The Army would occupy the building so no one could enter.

Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive
fire and close combat.

The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with option
to buy.
