Some friends become less friendly because they know you are on your way to retirement while they are on their way to the next campaign.

Yet shockingly, people are treating the Isis emails as if they constitute some sort of scandal, when in fact all they’ve done is confirm what everyone essentially already knew. And honestly, just what is the big deal anyway? Particularly with the female final clubs—whose focuses seem to be primarily social—it’s hard to imagine...
