    You missed the "IMHO".

    In the Military your generalisation is probably not a self evident truth.

    To quote another posters sig. "Knowing what you don't know is more
    important
    than knowing what you know." and I would add that that's because what you
    do know you can try to deal with.

    Enough of the philosophy class.
