He stops filing paperwork and looks up at you.
"You serious? What is it with all you airhead jet-jocks coming in here all hours of the day asking asinine questions. 'Commander, can we take assault rifles with us in the roosterpit?' 'Commander, can I take a break from defending my country to go buy a beer?' 'Commander, are we going to mount a rescue mission deep in enemy territory to save two of our guys that we don't even know are still alive?' No, no, no, and as for you,

He puts out his cigarette and lights another.
"What are you still doing in my office? Get out."
