"Questions, comments, disputes?"
Sam asked, "That's it?"
"That's it. The simpler the plan, the longer it survives in the face of the enemy. Plan every little detail, and your plan won't last 5 seconds, partly because nobody can remember what the plan entailed when they are busy taking fire, and partly because the enemy will make the rest of it invalid. KISS principle applied to combat."
Sam liked the response as did the other career military people in the room.
Jack piped in "Good plan."
Daniel followed up with "I like it." before turning to Jack and saying "It's better than your usual plans."
Jack decided to take umbrage with that comment, "I'll have you know that the reason it sounds better than my usual plans is that I usually don't make plans. Hard for the enemy to screw something up when it doesn't exist."
Daniel turns to Sam and with a very plaintive tone, "That explains SO much of our lives."
Sam tried and failed to keep the smile off her face. Jack was a senior officer after all.
