From this fanfic I'm reading;

[mcity]

“So you designed a most lethal and effective tank to save the lives of your fellow marines. You care, and that is why I need you. The people who want this job don’t deserve it. More bureaucrats and politicians than scientists or soldiers, they brought levels of military incompetence, short-sightedness, and mismanagement unseen since the Bush administration of the former USA.

I like how in the roughly five and a half centuries between today and the events of "Halo", when humanity is a multicultural gestalt that has stretched its hand across the stars to grasp countless worlds and fights a war against a genocidal alien race and space zombies, li'l Georgie Bush is still viewed as the most incompetent leader ever.

I mean, really.
