All Over the Place

Military

OFFICER
There’s a goat.

GENERAL
I don’t have time for this shit! Get on with it!

OFFICER
Sorry, Sir. One’s wandering outside the target. Our source on the ground says
everyone in the house is dead. Reliable.

GENERAL
Well, I guess we’ll get the goat this time. The raid is on!

OFFICER
To kill what is dead?

GENERAL
The raid’s for political reasons. You better get to understand what those are.

OFFICER
Pilots put at risk and financial waste too!

GENERAL
Agreed, but nothing to do with it. The Brits hanged a dead man once.
Carried out the order!

OFFICER
With all due respect, Sir, our contemporary stupidity to resonate
with their historical one?

GENERAL
Full speed ahead! But that’s reserved for admirals, no?

OFFICER
Such tragic waste!

GENERAL
Not really. Nothing is wasted in politics. Get the ball rolling!
That’s your sole job now. You’ve expressed your innocent
and repetitive opinions...duty of the young.

OFFICER
Yes Sir!
