"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Pentagon: Most Furloughed Civilians Ordered Back
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2013-10-06 00:00
"Most of the Pentagon's 400,000 furloughed employees will be back at work as early as next week under a decision announced Saturday by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. The civilians are on emergency furlough because of the government shutdown. Hagel issued the return-to-work order Saturday under a new interpretation of the Pay Our Military Act."
