#2 ..could be. Though the services as a whole have a earned reputation to wait too long to relieve officers. There was a IG of the Army report after Desert Shield/Storm on the number of senior officers (field grade +) relieved. Didn't get too much circulation.

#10 Roghly speaking it takes about 42 gallons of crude (about one barrel) to make 20 gallons of gas. Again, roughly speaking. Other stuff is produced from that same oil as it is refined. I don't see any huge profit margins, if you take into account the refining and transport costs. As you might expect, the gov't is the biggest benefactor of the oil industry, from the initial lease, to wellhead to pump. The gov't has it nailed.

#11 Out of port is what I heard.

Gateway Pundit but that's all I found about it - as always rumor is not fact so salt accordingly.
