The Shrine to the Era When CONUS Was a Sanctuary

Say, we sure do have a lot of our military bureaucracy in one place.

Is this disturbing anybody else?

Normal operations have resumed at the Pentagon after the building was earlier placed on lockdown following the detection of an "air quality issue" that sent hazardous material (hazmat) response teams to the scene. 

It was a false alarm, fortunately. But many threats could disrupt operations there. I mean, there was that 9/11 suicide attack. At least that was a one-off and not the first of many strikes.

Maybe that whole "mass effects rather than assets" idea has an application here.
