    You got it right in the end though.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Armies had been getting around just fine for Millenia before air forces came along. It may be a distraction to the thread but to set the record straight, soldiers can walk across continents but sailors certainly can't swim across seas and oceans and airmen can't fly ten metres (unless thrown out of a bar by soldiers or sailors).

    Still get the job done.

    No war has been won without troops on the ground.
    Adapt and overcome.

    To seek out and close with the enemy, to kill or capture him. To seize and hold ground and to repel attack by day or night, regardless of season weather or terrain.

    That wee paragraph is the role of the Infantry.


    Some people must read it and decide drinking lattes and missing drop zones or trolling behind a dingy with a .303 mounted on it, is more too their liking. Therefore join the navy or airforce😆

    Onward.

    Job is best done with the tools that one has.
    Troops will get the job done, but at what cost to the troops? Air and naval support can work together with troops, each filling their own role on the jigsaw puzzle of life and if al goes as it should more troops make it home. Air strikes can massively reduce the risk to troops.

    There will always be rivalry, but all three are better off with the rest of the team along side. Just like a rugby team has different positions, Some are fast and hard to catch, some are strong and provide support, and some are built like trucks and tackle hard.....
