A Bridge Too Far - Uncertainty in Military Operations
Maj. Julian Cook:
I have just been informed that our Nine O'clock arrival has been postponed until ten, so you can all have an extra hour of fun and relaxation.
U.S. lieutenant:
Major, we got any more information on those boats?
Cook:
I have been reliably informed that they float. Outside of that we don't know squat. Not how many, not how heavy, not how big. We are sure that the river is wide and the current is strong and if there is any more cheery information that comes along I'll just be too happy to pass it along. In the meantime just think of this as on the job training.
