Colonel kicked out of war for hating PowerPoint
- hga 16y agoAs many commentators note, this is wrong, for he was "kicked out" for gross insubordination: "For headquarters staff, war consists largely of the endless tinkering with PowerPoint slides to conform with the idiosyncrasies of cognitively challenged generals in order to spoon-feed them information. Even one tiny flaw in a slide can halt a general's thought processes as abruptly as a computer system's blue screen of death." You just can't say that sort of thing and expect to be retained in an organization. Even if it's true. For that matter, it's not that he hates PowerPoint but that he perceives it is part of pointless process.
