You may not appreciate the grammatical and linguistic miracle that is the f-word, but if it were not for that four-letter piece of profanity, nothing would ever get done in the military, as troops would have no way to communicate or organize.

Most people think that the most basic level of unit organization is the squad or the fire team. Technically, that is true, but in reality the basic unit of military organization is the gaggle-*******, which consists of three or more non-rates doing something completely unproductive. When two or more gaggle-*******s coalesce, they become a cluster-*******, and there is often an NCO or even an SNCO in the mix. At this point, all activity becomes counter-productive. Most military activity falls into one of these two categories.

The supreme level of military organization is the Mongolian cluster-*******, which requires the presence of field-grade officers. In actuality, it is just a bunch of cluster-*******s that are supposedly working together for a common objective. The Mongolian cluster-******* is highly unstable and is only manifested for brief periods before the officers just give up and go back to whatever it was they were doing before.

In theory, there is another level of military disorganization...I mean organization, that consists solely of officers. It is spoken of in hushed whispers throughout the ranks but none have ever seen it, and there is no f-word derivative to describe it. The only evidence of it exists in conference rooms that are occupied only by styrofoam cups with what appears to be coffee residue in them, and the occasional half-baked plan scrawled on a dry-erase board or memo pad. Judging from these "plans", it would appear that this level of disorganization is counter-counter-counter-productive, which is to say that it actually negates any accidental benefit from normal counterproductivity.

In any case, overuse of the word "*******" and all derivatives are integral to military operations, and a therefore a matter of national security. As such, your annoyance at the profane term makes you a terrorist threat. You have been reported to the authorities, sir

I hate people who think they have Zero acountability for their stupidity and always put the blame on something/Someone else.

Do like me, think of them as badges you try to earn. Try to collect as many as you can, from different reasons. I gots 4 unique ones already including a rare one that got reversed afterwards.

(Seriously, that's about the only thing they are good for. )
