"Do you know who I am? I am the assistant to general (name omitted to protect the inocent). I could give fly &%$# what you are the rest of the American or German public thinks about what we are doing. They are just a mass of mindless cattle that we can and should manipulate. Who are you anyway?"

"I'm Warren Peace a reporter for the newspaper."

Mr. Big Time Assistant sat there dumbfounded obviously suffering from foot in mouth disease.

Over the years in the in the Military I delt with a lot of "VIPs". Generals and civilian heads of alphabet agencies. Heck, I once drove the Vice Presidents limo! (that was kinda neat). We ALWAYS had more trouble from the "aids" than from the actual VIPs.

Oh and Yeah, they're (aids) fun to put in their place!

Can you say, American or German?

Actually it's called WANNABE ITIS!

American

Figured it was gonna be! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

He was begging me to keep everything off the record. I laughed in his face. As the luncheon began he was suddenly the quietest man in the room. When I left, after talking to the real VIPs, he approached me again this time with his general and asked me to "please" don't quote him. His general asked me as a favor not to (we have known eachother for a while) and since he is a good man, I agreed not to. But, I didn't leave without a parting comment.

"Sir, I have no desire to quote your aide. When he asked 'if I knew who he is,' I didn't and I am sure no one else does either, so no one really cares that he is a pompous [censored] either."

GOOD JARHEAD! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Morning guys

I figured you'd get a kick out of that one. Too bad I didn't get anything else people cared about from the luncheon. At least I got a free meal and the chance to stick it in and twist between an aide's ribs.

Maybe they need to send him to Dachau and put him in one of the furnaces for about an hour, shut the doors and tell him to think about his STUPID STUPIT POMPUS A** REMARK! Then give him to a crusty old Sgt Major for a week!
