[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 100111, member: 1622"] [ QUOTE ] "When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." [/ QUOTE ] ....I like that! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]...I would read it as a double-edged saying...on the one hand, when you only equip and train your people with lethal means, they have trouble responding to a situation that doesn't require a lethal response and therefore their response is rather 'binary'...either an inappropriate 'nothing' or an inappropriate 'lethal' one...where something in between was required. ...but, if we've firmly crossed the 'lethal' threshold; the concept is wonderfully 'simplifying'! Worrying about subtleties of performance is wasted worrying. Perhaps a look at 'big bullets' will throw the issue into stark relief: When you take something on with 155mm, you don't wonder whether 152mm might have done it more efficiently! If you need more; you step up to the next option available, you don't wish you had 160mm, you step-up to the next 'power level' available (JDAM!). [/QUOTE]
