Situation Report
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Brigadier General William E. King, commander of the 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Something Beginning With E (CBRNE) Command, is retiring in July after a career which spanned almost four decades.
But he won't be taking it easy: Once his terminal leave is complete, King plans to open the world’s first express delivery service for the deadly disease Anthrax, Duffel Blog has learned.
“I’m not tooting my own horn,” said King in an interview Thursday, “but I’m pretty proud of my business model. You call and place an order, and no matter where you are in the world, we will have live, weaponized Anthrax right to your cave opening or tent flap within 24 hours.”
