    If everybody agreed to use ancient weapons or fists only I'd be happy to go. Otherwise I would go, and perform well, but would probably be very bitter if I got injured. Several months ago I played the game "Full Spectrum Warrior" which supposedly is a modern squad-based combat simulator. This was really eye-opening and I did a little more research into the sort of tactics used and scenarios that come into existence... there are too many instances where you have NO control (ie, regardless of skill, good decision-making) whether you become a casualty. For the higher command these are surely only "acceptable losses". For the infantry its of course much different. Come to think of it the only position I would be happy in would be a higher command position (lieutenant and up I believe).

    Apart from the A-10 that you're busy waving to.

    Well seeing as I'm already Army Guard and plan on going active after school I'd go no problem.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
