Soon after being transferred to a new duty station, the young Marine husband called home to tell his wife that he would be late - again. He went on to say that dirty magazines had been discovered in his new platoon's quarters, and that he must discipline everyone.
The wife launched into a tirade, arguing that many men at his previous post had pictures hanging in their quarters, so his new platoon should not be penalized for something so trivial.
The young officer listened calmly, then replied. "Honey," he said, "we found dirty magazines; the ammunition clips for their rifles have not been properly maintained."
