Pentagon worries Capt. Crozier's concern for his sailors may be contagious

PENTAGON – Pentagon officials have expressed concern in recent days that the former commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt may have infected other commanders with a desire to place the well-being of their troops over loyalty to senior leadership, sources confirmed Friday.

“The seriousness of this cannot be overstated,” said Col. Vance Kushner, a Pentagon spokesman. “This isn’t like some kind of virus threatening the health and well-being of our soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen. This is much worse. This makes us sitting here in the Pentagon look like out-of-touch asses.”

A task force to study the issue has already been assembled, according to sources, comprised of senior leaders devoting whatever resources necessary to stop what has been dubbed “Crozier-20” from spreading.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, perhaps it is indeed a duck.

Many think that it's a satire site, but (as anyone that has served in any branch of the military knows) they are actually quite restrained sometimes!

(One of the details that I was actually assigned to do while in the Air Force involved painting the brown grass green so it would look nice when President Ford came through our base to send off the Olympic Athletes for the Montreal Olympics. He was not going to come within a half mile of our shop building, but...)
