Another example: There was an old Bill Mauldin cartoon in which a recruit was going through basic training. He was crawling on the ground while under fire (and live ammo was being used), and he had his gluteus maximus sticking up in the air (big no-no). Apparently, he had done this before, because the drill sergeant took the guy’s helmet off, stuck on his butt and said, “If ya won’t learn, at least put this where it’ll do the most good!”
It’s all about maximizing your resources.
