From wikipedia:
--
Mr. T was born in Chicago, Illinois, the youngest son in a family with twelve children. His father, Nathaniel Tureaud, Sr., was a minister.
He enlisted in the United States Army and served in the Military Police Corps. In November 1975, Tureaud was awarded a letter of recommendation by his drill sergeant, and in a cycle of six thousand troops, Tureaud was elected "Top Trainee of the Cycle" and was also promoted to squad leader. In July 1976, Tureaud's platoon sergeant punished him by giving him the detail of chopping down trees during training camp at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin, but did not tell him how many trees, so Tureaud single-handedly chopped down over 70 trees from 6:30-10:00 a.m., when a shocked major superseded the sergeant's orders.

How about that?

I pity the fool who made the mistake of telling Mr. T to chop down trees, with no limits.

I think that when you do not give a Soldier clear and concise orders, the results may be that he or she will cut down all the trees.
