In organizations there’s almost always someone whose only power it to screw things up for someone else. This is the guy who keys a car even though he won’t see the face of the owner. This is the guy who throws trash on a neighbor’s lawn. They’re everywhere. Sometimes it’s not power, but stupidity. The US Navy briefed a Senator on why the Japanese had not sunk many US subs. Turns out they didn’t know how deep US subs could go. When a reporter asked the senator about it, he said, “The stupid Japanese are setting their depth charges too high.” The Japanese immediately corrected and started sinking subs. Where there isn’t malfeasance or treason, there’s just plain stupidity.
Thank You, General, that is an absolutely true incident, and the reason that the US Naval Submarine Service is called "The Silent Service", Submarine Sailors don't discuss secret stuff with outsiders.
I’ve never heard that one before, got a name for that Senator or a reference?
Same stupidity DiFi showed by telling the media the type shoes Richard Ramirez was wearing when he murdered people.
He immediately changed the shoes he wore.
Ignorance or self importance jeopardized the Night Stalker case.
