Eagle Sauce: I Was Just Bragging! Rabbit, You Really Built It?

That year, Eagleland established the Strategic Deception Bureau.

One batch of fake documents after another was deliberately leaked.

One eagle said, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that our active fleet only has fifth-generation fighters. We already have sixth-generation fighters in the hangar, the plans for seventh-generation fighters are done, and we’re working on eighth-generation fighters.”

Another eagle said, “Our soldiers are all Captain Americas. They wear powered armor.”

Yet another eagle said, “You think nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are impressive? Ever heard of a fusion-powered carrier?”

Eagleland’s plan was to fool the whole world and establish strategic deterrence. It didn’t matter whether anyone believed them, as long as they were scared.

But one little rabbit took Eagleland’s boasts seriously.

Terrified, the rabbit began aiming for the things Eagleland had claimed and poured resources into developing its military industry.

Years later, when the rabbit’s eighth-generation fighters streaked across the sky, its super-soldiers marched in formation, and its fusion-powered carriers appeared, Eagleland was dumbstruck.

“Holy crap, I was making it all up! You actually built them, rabbit?”
