I love the workings of the well trained american military mind, it is a wonderful, beautiful analytical thing to watch.
Reminds me of the definition of a military staff study: A record of the mental processes by which the author went from an unwarranted assumption to a foregone conclusion.
Actually, the staff study format is an excellent way of addressing a problem. However, I've seen it misused far too often. It's all too easy to make something look logical.
