#10 Rockets, my ass! There is nothing like a Really Big Gun.
Kinetic Kill weapons have a certain charm that the Navy is going to have to rediscover in a few years after their new love affair with guided missiles and, recently, lasers.

#15 "The smart 'let's make sure' run. "

It is the breath the enemy gets while the Hog is climbing to come back... where they run and you can pick them off easily. And they are up because you never forget the Hog's descendant in-escapable sound as it BURRTS them again.

The raw fact of this is Everyone knows there is a Real live Human Being there making choices about their mortality and giving up their lives for you.

And it is comms real time and real eyes on the ground which is what I will always require for overwatch position.

Skin in the game will be the only game.
