Immutable Laws

[cacunn]

Three ways to lie:

1) Include no truth in the telling.

2) Tell the truth but only part of it.

3) Tell the absolute truth, all of it, but in a way that no one will believe you.

The political correlary to this - if the politicians lips are moving they are exercising law 1 or 2, the odds are that it is number 1.

US Army General Orders (As taught in Basic Training)

1. I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.

2. I will obey my special orders and perform all of my duties in a military manner.

3. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the commander of the relief.

And as ammended by a particular Platoon Sergeant I served with:

4. I will walk my post from flank to flank, and take no s*#t from any rank!
