We have been treated to the n-bomb, the n-shelter, and the n-family; now we have N-ADA. N-ADA is the programming language that the military plans on using once an n-war has occurred. Its maximum capabilities are unknown, since no one will be around to test it. The derivation of the language's name comes from two possible sources: 1) the end result of an ADA program in an n-war, or 2) the response of the El Salvadoran (sic?) who was asked, "What have U.S. military advisors done for you?"
