I'm so happy that military-industrial mofos like Feyek, 79, get to spend 
their senescence pursuing "interesting work," inflicting still further 
billion-dollar boondoggles on this armaments-stuffed nation.  I guess the 
good news is that employing addled old coots like this will help ensure that 
new Pentagon instruments of mass slaughter will be less reliable and deadly 
than if developed by non-senile weaponry wizards.
