@#2 ... BOHICA ...

List of military slang terms

...
BOHICA

BOHICA stands for Bend Over, Here It Comes Again. The meaning is that something undesirable is going to happen again and that there is not much else one can do other than just endure it.

The Log, the humour magazine written by and for Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy, featured a series of comics entitled "The Bohica Brothers", dating back to the early 1970s.[citation needed]

So, Sec Hegseth seems to be welcoming Russian hackers into our systems?

That makes an earlier question of mine more important ... is DOGE placing backdoors in Federal software to make the job of the Russian hackers easier?

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Verse 1]
And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man
I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that
Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?

[Verse 2]
And the sign said anybody caught trespassing
Would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house
"Hey! What gives you the right?
To put up a fence to keep me out
Or to keep Mother Nature in

If God was here he'd tell you to your face
Man, you're some kinda sinner"

[Chorus]
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?

{In album version only}

[Bridge]
Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no, you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!

Simple, imho ...

Pres Putin is taking control of the United States, with Pres Trump's apparent acquiescence to that.

The post-war trial of Vidkun Quisling. Look at the Norwegian MP on the left eyeball the traitor. Quisling would be executed later that year in Oct 1945.
