Just a minor qualm, but soldiers are trained to think. That's why you have stories of troops being compromised because they didn't kill the goat herder or kid that stumbled across their hide site.

At some point I would have devolved into a Circuit City customer service associate, but alas, the bailout hasn't extended that far.
