zackly. Think about the British "lobsters"; it was critical that their infantry platoons have discipline for their box formations with the officer in the center ordering loading, firing, advancement, etc. The revolutionaries sort of put an end to that with guerrilla attacks, but until then the soldiers only job was to do exactly as ordered by his officer. These days with "asymmetric" warfare and infinitely changing battlegrounds, tactical situations, and enemies the most important thing a soldier can do is think first. Ready, *aim*, fire. Think special forces. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:260836 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
