WASHINGTON — Acting Deputy Defense Secretary Marie Kondo has issued a suggestion for the American people: Thank veterans for the joy they brought them before ultimately discarding them.

Popular Japanese minimalist and home organizing consultant Marie Kondo fell into the position of Acting Deputy Defense Secretary after qualified individuals kept leaving office after less than six months. The line of succession evaporated so quickly that foreign Netflix icons were being considered for the position, but everyone on the Great British Baking Show passed. (Paul Hollywood reportedly called the offer "half-baked."

The star of "Tidying Up," Kondo previously offered families ideas on how to organize their lives to make more room for things like family time, hobbies, and general gratitude about what life has to offer. Now, as Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense, Kondo has applied her art to the U.S. Armed Forces.

"I recommend that after folding the American flag, you stand them upright in the drawer," Kondo said in a blog post. "This makes it easier to find them later, especially when you have over 5,000 of them."
