Just When You Thought Arizona Couldn't Get Stupider...

i just suggest that after long enough the soldiers get tired.

Ever see what George Washington had to say about "militia?"

To place any dependence upon militia is assuredly resting upon a broken staff. Men just dragged from the tender scenes of domestic life, unaccustomed to the din of arms, totally unacquainted with every kind of military skill ... makes them timid and ready to fly from their own shadows.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to the President of Congress, Sep. 24, 1776

I agree with him. Hence why I'm in favor of how Switzerland does things

So you've either been to prison or would like to move there?

I would rather not have to fight for my life, or my body on a daily bases.

I've been to prisons in america, and I am not impressed. The thing I don't like is the hair cutting. I'm against the whole idea of that. Hair doesn't just grow back instantly, it's completely out of line to cut it.

But it would be a mistake to consider american prison particularly harsh. Want a real prison and you'll go to russia.

Soldiers wear out, true. However the Romans had solved that problem. The front line soldiers after a while would fall behind the second line which then becomes the first to continue the fight, leaving the once first line to refresh themselves. Seeing as the second row are still fresh, it causes an endless circle of refreshed soldiers while the opposing army tires and wears out. A legion of tireless soldiers.
Just wanted to add that for no real reason.
My little sis is starting to call me a nerd.

True, and I think that it is a good system. There are reasons I play Zerg in starcraft 2 instead of terran or protoss, you know.

Accomplish next to nothing? They rebelled and over threw a dictatorship and replaced it with a democracy. Sounds like a huge accomplishment to me. The Libyan rebels are trying the same thing, but this dictator, seems to have no limits. He is prepared to mass murder. This is where weapons and training would come in handy.

Replaced it with a theocracy, which will again become a dictatorship. Pathetic.

Yes, Libya's revolution is much more inline with why I believe america should have weapons to defend itself from itself. Wonder when america will go the way of the romans (republic into empire).

Ah huh. So...will you be leading from the front or the back?

If I'm charging, I'm charging. Running at my target. If that's in front of behind matters not.
