One Phrase, Four Meanings
"In managing the DoD there are many unexpected communications problems:
For instance, when the Marines are ordered to 'secure a building', they
form a landing party and assault it. On the other hand, the same
instructions will lead the Army to occupy the building with a troop of
infantry, and the Navy will characteristically respond by sending a yeoman
to assure that the building lights are turned out. When the Air Force
acts on these instructions, what results is a 'three year lease with option
to purchase'". - James Schlesinger (a senior DoD Executive)
