Associate professor of English, O’Malley Director of the University Writing Program at the University of Notre Dame and Chronicle of Higher Education writer John Duffy offers what he calls the criteria or "Four Tests" for evaluating the ethical standards of figurative language in public [administration] discourse."

Ethically mining my own metaphors, On 9/11 (September 11, 1941), ground was broken in Arlington County, Virginia’s 8th Congressional District to construct the Defense Department's highest level Command Post—the Pentagon’s National Military Command Center. With its National Security Space (NSS)-portfolio consisting of global strategic watch, crisis response and monitoring defense-significant incident/events to inform our National Command Authorities (NCA), the likelihood of this its groundbreaking Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) event yielding diminishing returns is unlikely.

Yet, human and civil rights advocates tend to overlook injecting collective goals into this C4ISR-based mission—as mission partners. Suffice it to say, as presidents continue to inform global business intelligence by making decisions that are informed both explicitly and metaphorically by its global space intelligence, this indicates a "green light" for a human-civil rights C4ISR space portfolio of investments for Command Post Controllers seeking post-service contracting opportunities in Defense and Space.
