In many years in the future, the instructor in Military Honors and Ethics at each of our Military Academies

is going to ask the class "Do you know who General X and Admiral Y were?"

The class will reply in unison (military students always reply in unison) "NO SIR!" (They always reply loudly.)

"They won the Battle of Jeffry Island and lost the Epsteinian War."

And one student will ask "Sir, where are they buried? Arlington? "

"No. In some long-closed Florida golf course, in unmarked graves under a sand trap."
