Misunderstanding Terms
One reason the Services have trouble operating jointly is
that they don't speak the same language.
For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a
building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.
Army personnel would occupy the building so no one could
enter.
Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend
it with suppressive fire and close combat.
The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a
three-year lease with an option to buy.
