A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective.Sun-tzu, The Art of War
dkram I thought Beau Geste was great till I had a little woman problem (actually she had the problem) and The Marines sent me to North Africa. Somehow that movie came to mind.
You are correct Sandfan (or Sun-tzu). My wife knew a woman lawyer who did a lot of divorce work. Opposing counsel would see her and she always looked a mess and disorganized. They figured getting what their clients wanted would be a piece of cake. Then she would go into court and rip ’em a new one!

Even in WWII, various armies were using inflatable tanks and airplanes. As long as it keeps working, they’ll keep doing it!
