"Don't point at me, you bastard!"
Suddenly, Richard Bruce Cheney stood up and pushed away the other's finger, glaring, "Is this how your parents taught you to behave?"
"Whatever I say, you all think I'm exaggerating, so why did you make me the Defense Minister? I'm fed up, fuck it, I'm resigning right now. You might as well put a dog in this position."
He pushed away the Army Chief of Staff, who was stunned by the insult, kicked over a chair, and left the office with a dark expression on his face.
He had realized that he couldn't hold the position of Defense Minister at The Pentagon for long, someone had to be blamed for failures, and since he wasn't one of Old Bush's relatives, he was always going to be pushed out.
Better to leave on his own than to be discarded.
Watching the "driven mad" Richard, General Carl Vorno opened his mouth and finally angrily dropped, "Can't the United States find another Defense Minister?!"
