Oh, don't be so histrionic. Tell me, would the cook get absolutely no attention in the matter, just because I told them to do it? To be honest, though, the absolute worst blame in that would be conspiracy.

What? Are you familiar at all with the history of the Navy SEALS? They don't need a presidential order to act on every mission they go on.
Quote:As cool as anyone could be who swaggers around their barracks bragging about how cool they are. Have they been made cooler than that? Yes. How? By Obama telling them specifically where to convert their coolness into something useful to the country.
Haha, yep, that's exactly right. There is no chain of command. There is just Obama and the SEALS.
