Speaking of my dad's Army service...
When I was in junior high, I was given an assignment to interview a veteran for Veterans Day. Since my dad was one, I interviewed him. One of the questions I asked him was "What was the funniest thing that happened while you were in the Army?"
His response (which I paraphrase) was that there was a Lt. Colonel who was in charge of fire safety training-and yet, despite this, his tent burned down one night*. During winter war games. In Alaska!
Yeah, that takes a special kind of stupid . . .

*No one was in fact in the tent when this happened, so no one was hurt.
