I laughed.

And yes, Chuck Norris was certainly an Airman, and you might not want to mess that up again if you don't want to die a roundhouse kick-related death...

If that don't work, well, we're all supposed to be at least attempted infantrymen.

"Wait until you see the whites of their eyes" just puts the issue in more doubt, and is likely to give you all kinds of PTSD etc., even if you win. People of my particular neural divergency would almost rather take a saw bayonet through the liver than make "eye contact" with friend or foe, anyway. Of course, as I always say, as did the Founders, every citizen of a republic is required to be an amateur infantryman, and show up for drill with weapons and equipment, or he doesn't get to vote. I'm older than 45, so I'm not required to have a "voting" rifle http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82835 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82835 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:07:29 -0600 If tankers are providing the target coordinates, suppression is about as good as you can ask for... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82834 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82834 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:50:36 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82830 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82830 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:39:22 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82827 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82827 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:12:01 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82822 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82822 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:08:59 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82816 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82816 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:35:02 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82811 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/01/all_those_tanks.html#comment-82811 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 12:08:26 -0600
