Well played, both!
The reporter is @JeffSchogol, who has become quite the legend among the Pentagon press corps, with pop culture referenced questions like the one asked today.
And BZ to the General for not missing a beat.

If this was an SNL skit it would kill

Who else wanted him to say, "It was always burning since the world's been turning"?
