Armed Forces
One reason the Services have trouble operating jointly is that they don't
speak the same language. For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure
a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors. Army
personnel would occupy the building so no one could enter. Marines would
assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and
close combat. The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year
lease with an option to buy.
