12 October 2020 - the Pentagon

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

If you find yourself warring against the U.S., there is one target you must avoid. The airports, the shipyards, the highway cloverleafs, the offices of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the White House—all are reasonable. You must not strike the Pentagon building. You cannot imagine the energy that would be unleashed if the vast bureaucratic dam broke.

clue:

The White House is a legal military target because the commander in chief lives there, and if you’re brought up before the Hague you can say that the CINC’s actual undisclosed secure location was undisclosed.

give me a clue so sweet and true
