"Putin is always right"
Wow, sometimes life makes me do a double take. With the trial of Khodorkovsky in the news, I saw mention of "Churov's Law". I had to look it up, since I'd never heard of it before. Here's what I found out.
Vladimir Churov is a Russian official and politician who became famous when he pronounced to a bunch of journalists - "Putin is always right!"
It took me a few seconds to realize why this slogan sounded so oddly familiar to me. High School English - George Orwell, "Animal Farm" - "Napoleon is always right".
Mr. Orwell - I take my hat off to you.

Rule number one: The Commanding Officer is always right.
Rule number two: Should, exceptionally, the Commanding Officer be wrong, rule number one goes into effect immediately.
Rule number three: There is no rule number three, everything is a multiple of one or two, to which please refer.
