Chance encounter yesterday.

Chance encounter yesterday.
While having lunch yesterday on a Mediterranean Island we ended up talking to a man who works for the US government as a liaison for NATO.
Things have gotten really crazy for him. He is on a one year assignment, hopes it will last. He has to go to 3 capital cities in Europe this week for discussions. Not going to be fun.

Didn't press for information but how do you try to talk to other countries and tell them the official line when at home no one knows the line and much higher ups are undercut at any given time. Even while testifying to congress?

I hope he makes it through his year.

      How does one work for the US as a liaison FOR NATO? Nonsense.

      I guess I'll give the DUmmy one thing: they made it somewhere other than a grocery store or a gas station. I'm getting tired of those stories.

All my counter-terrorism and OPSEC training taught me that you never discuss your job with others. This:

A) never happened
B) it happened but the liaison is an idiot who could land in serious trouble, or
C) the DUmmy was being marked for a con

     They did say it was a "chance encounter" which in DUmmyspeak probably means the they were biting a pillow when this NATO info was being shared.

Perhaps they met up on Poveglia Island.

Wow! That’s wild Old Stank…I mean Crank. I myself had a chance encounter just this morning with an extraterrestrial that’s representative from the Alpha Centauri system. He says that his people are just now able to re-establish diplomatic relations with the US. He said that they recalled all of their people during the SloJo administration because if they could ever catch SloJo awake he was either babbling incoherently or trying to sniff people. Apparently, his people are happy to have someone in the highest office who can actually function.

By the way, he did say that one of his greatest pleasures on earth is reading DU. He said that you guys are the laughing stock of this entire galaxy and that he appreciates your efforts to entertain.

This never happened

when I was stationed in Italy on a Missile site, we were told constantly about OPSEC and the last thing I would have done would be to tall anyone about what I was doing there. I would say I was stationed at Zelo, Italy but that was about it. No one needed to know anything else.
