"Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you." - Your Buddies

this one maybe true, but we often did this (in my past) to draw out the enemy and then when we took fire we put all of our firepower we had on them.

Wow.

Pro memoria: Like every male Swiss I have my automatic gun with the ammo at home (I know, it's hard to believe, but true). We have a militia army here - every one (especially males) have to go to the army.

I know, we are a few hundred years back here...

Just: Wow...

I don't think the Swiss are behind. I think if every male and female in the U.S. went through boot camp and a years active duty this would be a much better country. (I was never in the service)
