Bring in an artillery officer explain how a Fire Direction Center works and the mathematical precision involved.

Bring in a NASA engineer and the need for mathematical precision.

This is stupid and it needs to be shut down.

I resemble the Artillery officer remark, I were one (well a corporal, 13E in the Fire Direction Center. And you better know your math, or when the guns shoot, they may hit the infantry and tankers we are supporting and NOT the enemy.

And yes, there was a brief period where artillery units had hard stripe corporals in the FDC along with SP4s. In my case I was slotted against an E-5 Recon Sgt postion, when the Army brought back corporals in the 1976.

No, it needs to be encouraged. That way, Democrats will commit suicide. They want to expunge all Conservatives from the military. Who is going to replace trained personnel on the plotting party? Big giggles the next time someone calls in a TOT at Ft Sill and Lawton is shelled flat...

Bring in a Welfare Benefits official. The numbers will get really important.
