Labour was being pointlessly obstructionist for its own sake, people obviously wanted a resolution to the matter.

It's called Jumping the Shark.

I'll bet when you were in the army you were able to watch youtube on a daily basis.
Nope. There was no internet. Didn't have a computer. Didn't even have a phone in my room.
dude I had to reset my xbox live password. I get that you think you had it rough, but I hope my experience puts your suffering in perspective. You do not truly know a man's character until he cannot get Netflix for a week. Climate change is causing all this.

Yeah, clearly all you need to succeed in the army is the ability shoot big guns and lift weights. Tactics are for nerds. :whistle:

Pretty much, they are told where to shoot, the grunts drool and follow directions like a good plebe.

Right. Let's start slow, shall we?

They are "told where to shoot" by...who,TC? Specifically, are the people telling them where to shoot, part of the army, or not part of the army?

Let's discuss artillery. How much maths do you think is involved in that? And who does this math, you think?

Start with the curious question as to why "plebe" would be a pejorative in a republic.

Did I ever tell the story about trying to join the Marines? (Sounds like another MM topic.)

You know who told me that ”Army Strong, not Smart.”

A recruiter.

And as for today, almost no math, everything is GPS based and put into a computer practically.

The only thing they need to get right is elevation and direction.

If you were talking 30 years ago, you may be right, but today... Fuck. Everything is nearly automated. The soldiers of today are spoiled.
