Does anyone else get just a little bit sad that we will not be around to see actual practical advances made with wormholes? I wonder if this is what people in earlier centuries felt, a bit of melancholy at the dream that hundreds of years f

> Soldiers being the intended audience does not mean _all_ soldiers must read it. What's so hard to understand about that? Apparently a lot, based on some of the replies in this sub-thread. I, on the other hand, fully agree with you

Your interpretation, irrespective of accuracy, is at odds with what is written in the actual document. If it is true that junior soldiers are not expected to read a document such as this, then the document should not state that the intended

Again, the document clearly states that Soldiers are the intended audience. In plain English. In the second sentence. Your interpretation, irrespective of accuracy, is at odds with what is written in the actual document.

That seems to be your own connotative reading, not what is actually written in the text. Had the actual written meaning been exclusively those tasked with integrating training, then the wording would have said so. As it is currently written

Making the observation that it is an absolute prerequisite to know the local language is not the same as the expectation that everyone caters to yours. If anything, it is the opposite. That said, if a given city only speaks one language, th

It is not 'wrong', it is something I lived through for months. The issue is not that these places do not have anyone with the necessary skillsets, the issue is that the service takes much longer than in a larger town.

But you're just proving my point: you get to 1 pound and 10p before you get to 2 pounds. So you get to a zero, 1.10, before you reach 2. That's the point of decimals that I am not understanding why people are ignoring.

by Ansil849 6y ago
How is this ignoring the difference? The statements 'I do not have any sheep' and 'I have 0 sheep' are synonymous; neither statement ignores the other.
