Military Super Computer

The U.S. succeeded in building a computer able to solve any strategic or tactical problem. Military leaders are assembled in front of the new machine & instructed to feed a difficult tactical problem into it. They describe a hypothetical situation to the computer & then ask the pivotal question: "Attack or Retreat?"

The computer hums away for an hour & then comes up with the answer: "Yes."

The generals look at each other, bewildered. Finally one of them submits a second request to the computer: "Yes what?"

Instantly the computer responded: "Yes sir."
