President Directs Military to Assist Santa with Twelve Days of Xmas Amid Operational Challenges
The President has tasked the Department of War to assist Santa with the Twelve Days of Xmas. The Army and Air Force are determining responsibility for Day 1, with the Air Force claiming lead due to the partridge being a bird, while the Army argues trees fall under its command.
A $1M study has been commissioned for resolution. The Air Force also claims responsibility for doves, while the Navy-Marine Corps team asserts their role regarding turtles, leading to a $10M DARPA study.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs has blocked the off-shore purchase of hens, prompting a $6M domestic alternative program, awarded to AT&T but challenged by a small business. A $5M development program has begun, amidst issues with geese eggs and swan training casualties.
A lawsuit has paused recruitment of Ladies, and Congress has allocated $2M for the rescue of abducted lords. Additionally, a $22M retrofit program is underway for pipes delivered incorrectly, while a shortage of drummers has led to an outsourced RFP. Due to operational delays, Christmas has been postponed.
