29. When a Lieutenant asks you to do some strange task
Fri Jun 20, 2025, 05:52 AM
Jun 2025

it's sometimes best to wait, that is if it is some hare-brained idea he had. If later on he comes back and asks if it's done, once again wait. All that means is he told someone and they agreed with him.
Now if he comes back a third time that job needs to be done. He's run it up the flagpole. The task went from being an idea to a plan, and now it's an order.

With Trump's 2 week strategy it is always a hare-brained idea
