That reminds me, we\u2019ve been so happy to push the Bush the Younger years offstage that we haven\u2019t really digested that a Texas oilman became President and then for a few years our post-Cold War operations and public face were remade on the energy-services contractor model
(which is not a facially ridiculous idea for contingency management in territory that is rough and infrastructure-poor yet full of spot events that briefly become incredibly important)
and then we were like \u201cpff\u201d and that plotline completely got scrapped
