A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.
She lowered altitude and spotted a man below. She
shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me?
I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago,
but I don't know where I am."
The man looked at his GPS and replied, "You are in
a balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground
elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are
31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."
She rolled her eyes and said,
"You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything
you told me is technically correct, but I have
no idea what to make of your information, and
I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much
help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the woman. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where
you are or where you're going. You've risen to
where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep,
and you expect ME to solve your problem. You're in
EXACTLY the same position you were in before we met,
but somehow now, it's MY fault "

Change democrat to 'officer', and republican to 'an enlisted man', and it makes perfect sense also!
