It’ like none of those Forest Service guys watched Lawrence of Arabia. Do you recall how that started? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDF0at7sC0M&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL0442B964889AA6C4 ~ the guy got shot for violating the First Use doctrine! Obviously we are not like the Arabs but this is a really, really, really, really old doctrine and only fools challenge it.
How much of the federal government is composed of ideological zealots who don't think the rules apply to them, and affirmative action hires that never knew any better to start with?
That only fools would try it doesn't appear to be a reason to believe it's not coming.
