The Pentagon

On a recent trip to Washington D.C., I had the privalage of visiting the Pentagon, and actually going inside. We were shown around by a marine, and it was quite an interesting place. I am curious about what people think goes on in there, and how it operates. I would like to dispel some myths if I can.

I was only there twice while in the Army and got totally lost both times.
But you're right, it's an interesting place. Especially when you get to wander around with a badge showing your T.S. clearance with accesses.

What goes on there? Why the mulling over of strategies for career-advancement. That's what.

It was rather scary when I first went in, since there were about 3 garuds at the top of the escalators with MP5's. The marine/tour guide stressed that we shouldnt lose or take off our little yellow badges, or personell would detain us for 3 hours and 'ask you questions you dont know the answers to'.

Such as what's Bhutan's leading export?
They might also wire you up or put the dogs on you or make you ... no, wait, that's somewhere else.

I was more worried about things like drone guns popping out of the walls or someone trying to run me down with one of those golf-cart like things they drive around in there.
