      Spencer Parnell: it’s a mutual agreement because of the horrible effects during WW1. It’s more “hey I don’t want to get gassed, you don’t want to die of gas. Let’s agree to not use it so if we die it’s not as horrible or agonizing a death. We’ll team up on anyone that does use it.”

Many of my relatives and ancestors also served. As have some of the kids. My daughter Crystal very successfully competed in obstacle course competitions and was platoon leader. She can be seen on my page. She still lives in the Fort Sill area of Oklahoma. It is great to see you spreading the word of such fine men.

      +David Grover The dentist took me off her list because I booked an appointment and the practice was shut, and the practice has a no tolerance to missed appointments. I tried ringing them, but couldn't get through. Apparently I am now no longer a patient there, which is just as well because after they didn't insert a filling correctly I got an infection, so I got compensation for medical negligence. Safe to say, they properly wouldn't want to have me as a patient there any longer.

      Except it isn't. Any technology developed for war could be used in hunting, or most of mathematics is developped for trading anyway. There's a lot technology does other than figure out ways to kill people.
      Humans mostly developped through the invention of agriculture, and the ability to live in one place.
      Even if that was true, (which it isn't,) does that mean humans need to keep repeating the past?
      Slavery was super convenient for most of human history, do we need to keep doing that too?
      How about torture, forced marriages, the list goes on and on...

      It's more likely that they didn't agree with their regime and didn't want to shoot the guy. It's pretty rare for soldiers (pre Vietnam anyway) to actually try to kill someone who isn't directly threatening you.
      This is basically because before then the skills were taught but the "shoot a man shaped object" or "shoot this thing dressed as the enemy" reflexes weren't.

      Did you even watch the video?
      They were ordered to kill 10 each in a last stand. Which they didn’t but that’s beside the point. Whilst he wasn’t ordered and killed almost a hundred in his last stand on his own will.

      Fight for "glory of the emperor", can't get motivated individually, rotten yellow teeth from living off moldy rations VS. A pog so naturally masculine the grunts ask him for training, has never seen a cavity in his life.

    As an 98E myself, I would tell you that we are always soldiers first and we train as hard as any infantryman in the army. Not only do we have 2 skill sets, we also have to train as medics in the field and must be on our A game at all times if called to perform and work as medics. The title Dental Specialist might seem like an easy title, but rest assured, it is no easy task. We have to perform and are beholden to the same standards as any soldier in the U.S. Army. And here's another tidbit. There are even Dental Specialists who train with the famous 82nd Airborne. I was offered to join them but turned down the offer. Combat Dentistry "is" a real thing. So for all you lame brain baboons who mock the Dental Corp, just remember this; You try running an obstacle course with full M.O.P.P. Level gear in 100 degree plus heat dragging a litter and applying field aid to a sucking chest wound! Over half of you won't make it, I promise you! "Out here!"

      They got one on the guy who wouldn't shoot a rifle but did use one as a stretcher. Just hope some of the guys lived and filled his shoes as sounds like he was a great loss as a person. Decent soldier, good dentist, but a real leader is hard to come by.
