In the process we consider the nature and loyalities of Earth Defence organisations, project vs goal orientated organisations, 'Bingo cards', Von Clauswitz, Military v Intelligence responses, Out of context incidents, cargo cults, the confused nature of the Buffyverse and because Kehaar is here uniforms! Lovely, lovely uniforms. Chap with the hot air, 5 arguments rapid!
