They should have kept it secret. God knows they don't get paid enough by the government.

Of course, a 25 pound block of gold, probably isn't the easiest thing in the world to pawn off.

Only the Army would pay for a $110,000 door stop.

This reminds me of a story an old-timer told me over 20 years ago. He was working on some special project that required a large block of platinum. They didn't have anywhere save to keep it and they were sure it would be stolen. The solution?... They used it as a door stop. Nobody ever guessed that it wasn't a block of lead. (Platinum is not a very attractive or shiny metal.)

She said the outgoing unit “used it as a doorstop in the summer I'll bet those guys are kicking themselves about now.

Waiting for some Muslim to find a reason to be offended by this and start a riot over it.
