Apparently the gay bars also have slow nights.
Unfortunately, not everyone learns what not to do:
In 1991, one might have deduced the January 16 Desert Storm campaign by monitoring the influx of pizza deliveries to the Pentagon, according to current U.S. Army Operational Security (OPSEC) training materials.
