A situation during which a pre-planned event goes horribly wrong and demonstrates a total lack of
communication, coordination, and forethought. Generally, this requires either of two parties, one being in a management or planning role that performs inadequate preparation and the other a participant that is utterly
incompetent. The result is absolute chaos and failure. In a military context, this is any activity involving A) Iraqis, B) Afghanis, or C) the US Department of State. The
involvement of two or more of these participants can result in an increase in fuckery several magnitudes greater than one alone.
I was assigned to lead a coalition mission to reestablish
educational facilities in Durkastan. I knew it was going to be a "goat rodeo" when a
douchebag in a suit walked into our tent and said "I'm with State, I'll be in charge from now on".
