Every day, things get worse at the Pentagon

Beloved readers: Your friend and humble narrator is writing to you from inside the Pentagon for the first time in three months. Thankfully, this reporter is still able to fit into his work clothes again after a pandemic diet that consisted solely of comfort food. (If stress eating were an Olympic sport, yours truly would be Michael Phelps.)

Right now, the mostly deserted Pentagon looks like famously germ-phobic Howard Hughes were in charge of cleanliness. People in the building are required to wear masks, which generally come in three varieties: cloth, surgical, and hardware store aisle 7.

Republics by nature are wilder and more robust than dictatorships.  I'll bet the militaries of Hitler and Stalin had no problems with politics, unless someone wanted to die young.  The problem with the military is they believe they are the fourth branch of government very much like MacArthur found out was not true when he tried to be stronger than Truman.
