War is business and business is...well...confusing...

Military Leaders are Struggling with Power Point (LINK)
The idea of Generals stacked into a room like in Dr. Stangelove comes to mind when you think of war planners...using Power Point. WTF? Power Point? Planning War with Power Point. What would my Grandpa say? What would General Patton say? What would Robert E. Lee say? These guys actually are quoted saying the following...
Gen. David H. Petraeus, who oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and says that sitting through some PowerPoint briefings is “just agony,”
Well sir if that is just agony then...

President Merkin Muffley: I will not go down in history as the greatest mass-murderer since Adolf Hitler.
General "Buck" Turgidson: Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American People than with your image in the history books.

-Dr. Strangelove
