‘I’ll keep my remarks short,’ CO says before hour-long speech

It's all just one big tease, I remember so many briefs that started out : "I WILL KEEP THIS SHORT"only to be turned int a verbal "WAR and PEACE" recital complete with "IN ADDITION" and "JUST TO SUMMARIZE" and the inevitable, are their any questions which always has two dozen F-Tards that want to give their own speech in Question format.

It is amazing how so many commanders at all levels are smitten by their own sense of hubris and leadership they just love talking to troops to impart their inherent wisdom, skill, knowledge and leadership abilities.

I am glad I don't have to sit through those any more... :)
