During the second Gulf War, I was an Air Force colonel.  I routinely flew on different aircraft to familiarize myself with their capabilities.  One day I was aboard an intelligence aircraft where each crew member was surrounded by complex gear.  A young major showed me his computer screen.  “That’s a chat screen, sir,”  the soldier said.  “We use it to relay enemy information to the crew---like instant messaging.”  Nodding, I moved down the line.  Flashing on an airman’s screen several feet away was the warning:  “Heads up---the colonel is on his way!”
