uctions to bomb the Soviets and to return to base. That’s about the size of it. A slangy way of saying "that is basically correct." We are plowing through every possible three letter combination of the code. "To plow through" something is to move through it quickly ("To plow" soil is to dig it up in order to be able to later plant seeds). But given that there are 17,000 permutations... A "permutation" is a change or variation from an original sample. General Ripper called Strategic Air Command Headquarters. The central military base where the Air Force is run. I have a portion of the transcript of that conversation. A "portion" is a section or part of a greater whole. A "transcript" is the written version of a spoken conversation. "For the sake of our country...I suggest you get the rest of the SAC in after them...Otherwise, we will be totally destroyed by red retaliation. To do something "for the sake of" a country is to it for its benefit or well-being. The SAC is the Strategic Air Command, which controls the Air Force. "Red" was a slang word for communists, though this is rarely used today. God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear...and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural...fluids." "To prevail" is to survive or continue moving forward. "Essence" is the most critical or important part of something, though when used by General Ripper, it doesn’t seem to have any meaning. There is nothing to figure out...This man is obviously a psychotic. "To figure out" a problem is to find its answer or solution. If a person is a "psychotic," they are psychologically sick or even insane. When you instituted the human reliability test, you assured me there was no possibility of such a thing ever occurring. "To institute" a test or policy is to carry it out or make it happen. In this case, a "human reliability test" is one designed to test the reliability of a person, or more specifically, whether you can trust them. I don’t think it’s quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip up, Sir. "To condemn" a person is to seriously criticize them. A "slip up" is a minor or unimportant mistake. Of course it isn’t only physical! I deeply respect you as a human being! What a man would tell his girlfriend if she feels he only likes her for sex. The 23rd airborne division is stationed seven miles away at Alvarado. If a military division is "stationed" in a particular place, it is housed or located there. Any force trying to enter there would certainly encounter heavy casualties. "To encounter" something is to meet it or come in contact with it. "Heavy casualties" means many deaths or serious injuries. With all due respect for your defense team, my boys could brush them aside without too much trou
