Major General Partridge:
Just because the tests didn't turn out the way Colonel Burton thought they would, was no reason to suspect there was anything devious going on.
Madame Chairwoman:
I ask you General, filling the fuel tanks with WATER before a test to check the combustibility of those tanks, that wasn't devious?
Major General Partridge:
If the tanks had been filled with fuel, there's a good chance the vehicle would have exploded.
Congressman #1:
Isn't that the point?
Major General Partridge:
If the vehicle had exploded, we wouldn't be able to run additional tests!
