Stationed in Guam, I was part of the SEAL team conducting a training mission to simulate terrorist activity.    In the early hours of the morning, our duty officer called the area commander to report that the SEALS had cut a hole in the base perimeter fencing, broken into a building and taken hostages.   Sleepily, the  commander asked our duty officer if the hole in the fence was simulated.  “Yes, sir” was his reply.  “And were the break-in and hostages simulated?”   After another affirmative answer, the commander asked, “Then why didn’t you simulate this phone call?”
