Ed. with all due respect why would a combat injury be necessarily
related to "incompetance" ? People are injured on ships all the itme in
circmstances over which they have no control.

How much respect is due I wonder to a man who thinks becoming the target
of quite a number of well trained gunmen is incompetence?

Or to put it another way. They only send children to war. Older and
wiser people won't go.

That true's but, it's also why the Middle East
and Europe are still run by 2000 year Olde Dead Romans,
so it's not like under 30 has ever cared
what the hell Europe and the Middle East do
with their "wisdom".
