You misunderstand me, sjm. I wasn't referring to hardware. Our boys in uniform are not to be aggressive under any circumstances. When they're not peacekeeping on someone else's dime, they are to crochet lace doilies and knit teapot covers for A&P shows around the country, although the navy lark will be allowed to do scrimshaw provided it doesn't portray anything warlike.

They're not even allowed to enter competitions - they're there for display purposes only. Can't go messing up their new toys, which do have to last them another fifty years, can they?
