Front page of the Wall Street Journal: An officer who broaches the boat must wear a pair of pilot wings on his uniform, a reminder that subs aren't meant to fly.

Von Clausewitz's comment: "Every thing in war is simple; but some times the simple thing is difficult" comes to mind.

This reminds me of all the times us apprentices (at the time) opened our mouths and gave our senior co-workers some stick. I have seen a few death-stares handed out as well as one particular incident where my mate said a particularly ill-advised smart-arse remark to a linesman, who then tied him to a wood pole and threw mugs of water over him until he apologised!
