#1 Taking military advice from a global welfare redistribution think tank will work out well.

How about returning the Department of Defense to the Department of War? Remind them and Death to America screamers of their function to destroy America's enemies, not be the global Meals on Wheels.

#2 My father worked out of OCAMA, 'Plans & Programs' office at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma, and when he came back from visiting the Pentagon always said the place left a bad taste in his mouth.

Of course, none of this is to say that the military is ready to deal with all possible scenarios--but what does shutting down the Pentagon have to do with it?

If there's a problem, it's personnel, not architecture.
