The military does a lot of things well. However, one of the things it seems incapable of doing is making an infographic that doesn't make viewers want to gouge their eyes out.

On Thursday, the above image began making the rounds on Twitter when it was shared by defense reporter Paul McLeary. Immediately, commenters began to speculate that it was actually just a new edition of Chutes and Ladders, or perhaps a never-before-seen painting by Russian abstractionist Wassily Kandinsky. Others wondered where Waldo was — as if all they had to do was look close enough and they'd see him wearing woodland cammies and hiding behind a generator.
But for many Global War on Terrorism-era veterans, the image brought back fears of painfully long PowerPoint briefings. Fortunately, it doesn't appear to be part of a slide deck, though it was included in a recent jargon-packed congressional report on the military's efforts to meld its networks into one single system.
