Doesn’t that sound familiar – promise everyone everything and then do nothing but sit on your backside and campaign for the next election. All of them, all of them.
When I was in (far too many years ago) a typical infantry soldier might be carrying a BAR or a 80mm mortar, or even a fifty calibre machine gun. The fifth squad in every platoon was a ‘special weapons’ squad. So, 20% of the infantry carries machines with extra-ordinary killing power. The M-14 of yesterday and and the M-16 of today are full auto weapons, so 100% of the infantry carries a machine gun. Hand grenades are de rigueur for all infantry members. Good thinking SupCo.

Just use the standard 50mm Howitzer requisition form; scratch out “Howitzer” and write in “Bazooka” . . . I mean “knitting needles.”

If this is Friday, it must not be Tuesday. Am I pro-Bill of Rights today?
