The S2 officer came back down to our office one day in the late '80s muttering astonished curses about the battalion commander, who'd rejected a briefing on known and estimated Soviet intentions if they rolled into West Germany. The assessment — not just ours, but from higher headquarters — of what the Reds would do didn't fit his plans, so he ordered that we change it. "Right, let's call up 8th Guards Army and tell them they have to go through the Coburg Gap, not the Meiningen."
But getting back to Bob's question, and in case someone out there failed to grasp the meaning of my little trip down memory lane, it doesn't really surprise me that the Dear Leader thought he could make the necessary change just by saying, "Change it!" After all, he "alone can fix it," as he told everyone during his campaign.
