Some people have the necessary imagination to know what could happen in the battlefield. The imagination part doesnt intervene only in finding solutions to potential problems... It also helps in "combat readiness". Some are shocked by what they could see in the battlefield because they never took the time to think about what could happen..."A well trained soldier with a moving intellect capable of imagening anything is the deadliest thing we can put on the battlefield.
He will find a way to solve any problem with the assets at his disposal.
He will pay a higher price on the personal level then the soldier who just does what he is told without thinking because he can imagine the consequences of his actions to a higher degree.
But that is the type of man we need."
If you are not ready to see a bullet go through the head of one of your people, well, stay home... You arent ready for war. You have to understand exactly what's going on.
The military should invest in the education of the soldiers. The more educated they are, the more able to rationalize what they see, the more ready they will be in dealing with what they will see in the battlefield. Then it will be less suicides and smarter people in the uniforms.
Well, KJ said the same thing.

Since you have no experiance and thus no clue what combat is like why don't you quit while our behind and drop the subject. This current "you can imagine it" and "mental preparedness clap trap you are spouting is not gonna turn out well.
I'm staying out of this one too as it started as a veteran to veteran discussion. I'll just say that I must agree with 03 on this one.Since you have no experiance and thus no clue what combat is like why don't you quit while our behind and drop the subject.

I too will agree with 03 and will enclose this "In the age of mobile warfare, the battle is fought and decided by the quartermasters before the shooting begins". Field Marshal Erwin Rommel

This is why I said "and the same man". Relativity. You are a smart man today, but if we compare you to the man you will be if you spend ten years reading... You will look like an ignorant person.And there is a difference between a man and the same man after years of academic training. A soldier who went to war after high-school is a dumb-ass compared to himself after some year in an university.
