Precision Ordinance onto a Target.

November 11, 2014 Bernard Hill

'All the departments are vital to make a jet fly off the carrier and put a piece of precision ordinance onto a target as per national tasking. Without one department- without Religious Ministries without the Legal department without the Reactor Department without Supply Department without hot water without cold water and steam for the catapults - none of it works.'

- Officer on the nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz  

 

Few organisations have the Widget clarity of the literal or figurative precision of ordinance striking its target.

Yet the military camouflages its Widget - 'Applying the maximum amount of violence permitted by law onto the enemy' behind 'Defending Australia and its national interests'.

If that more palatable language promotes the people and the government to provide the defence force with resources and recruits to to inflict violence on the enemy - then its Widget is served.

If Religious Ministries helps launch weapons platforms into the skies to drop explosives that shred property and flesh - then praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

If 'People are our most important resource' increases the share price, then preach!

 

Without one department - none of it works.

The bombs don't hit targets.

The share value doesn't rise.

The Widget doesn't get made.

Be honest with yourself about the Widget that you choose to give your time and attention.

 

Words matter.
