Comanche School of Management

[worfusa2008]

A Comanche will ride his horse until it goes down. He will build a fire under the horse until it gets up and ride it some more. When it goes down again, he will build a fire under it until it gets up and then ride it some more. This goes on until the horse can no longer get up, Then, the Comanche eats it.

I see the parallel.

And they can't figure out why they keep losing bodies.... 15-18 in the month of August alone.

Given the nature and importance of the mission I'm not sure how management could give relief to the troops unless the number of people they have to protect is reduced. Aren't they protecting people that they are not required to protect by legislation but only because President Bush directed that they should? Maybe this will change under President Obama.

The management style of Headquarters has nothing to do whether we have a President masquerading as a Conservative or a President-Elect who is an avowed Socialist. It has to do with a management style that has been entrenched in the Penthouse since the Halderman-Erlichman era. It is self-perpetuating and will never die as long as the "Blue Flamers" control the asylum.

I agree. I was both pre-and post the Nixon years. The Haldeman/Ehrlichman attitude of having enemies twist in the wind was definitely absorbed by USSS management of the era. And it extends to the present.

It's not enough for management to simply win, they feel they must hurt.

It's sad.

Worfusa2008,

"Blue Flamers" not familiar with this description :?: Humm:?:

Hmmmm: It will be interesting if worfusa explains what "blue flamers" means. As with "the others" when they are asked a question, they consider it a personal attack, and an attempt to curb their 1st amendment rights.

I know in some parts of the country "flamer" refers to homosexuals (as in 'there's a real flamer')and in other parts it refers to ADAM HENRYS (exhaust pipe for the human body ergo, gas ignites).

Blue could refer to homosexuals (as in Blue-Boy magaizine a big time gay publication I think in Florida or California). Or it could mean "Blue" as in adult movies. Or "blue" could mean OLD, as in "blue haired ladies".

As I do not know what worfusa meant by "blue flamers", I can only suspect that MOD166 will look into this matter, as I believe he's making a derog statement against gays and older individuals, which is a VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF USE. buster1.

In the world of the "Real Police" the term "blue flamer" is used to describe someone who will do anything to get to the top to include, but not limited to, running over the backs of colleagues, demanding ever greater numbers of arrests, character assassination to get a better evaluation, carrying kool-aid for the Boss, etc. . They are disciples of the Comanche School of Management and can be identified by the blue flame of their exhaust as they shoot by on their way to the top. They can usually be found in middle management or not far behind someone who is. Street Humps always get a chuckle when they sometimes flame out and go roaring by to crash and burn. The term was well known in the "old" Secret Service and it was not complimentary.

Buster1, you have too much time on your hands. As thin as your skin seems to be, it's a wonder you don't bleed to death when you sneeze.

Your apology is accepted.

Oh, wow! I wish I had said that. How right you are.
