There are probably a large number of people who’d quite like
to see former US Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld sent to the moon. What they may
not realise is that the eccentric octogenarian has already been there. At least
if we believe ‘Captain Kaye’, a former military operative who’s been busy
fighting to protect the human colonists on the red planet.
The Mirror reported recently that Kaye (a pseudonym) had
served in a secret, multinational fleet, dedicated to battling Martian life forms.
After 20 years, the brave space warrior was given a fitting retirement party on
the moon, which was attended by a number of VIPs, including Rummy.
The hawkish politician is perhaps best remembered for his
musings about Iraq, in which he distinguished between known knowns (things we
know we know) and known unknowns (things we know we don’t know). Up until a couple of days ago, his lunar connections
fell into his third category of unknown unknowns. We didn’t know we didn’t
know.
Now that we’re aware of the Martian conflict, it’s only a
matter of time before there will be a clamour for our boys to withdraw.
Especially when the stuff about the CIA ‘dark’ prisons on Saturn comes out.
