I suppose one doesn't need to know how when you never, ever have to fight your own fights.
Well the army is not known for fostering critical thinking skills in it's cadres...
It's like a game to see how stupid of a thing can be said and not cause any wane in support. Always approaching, but never reaching that point. Because that line is also known as "infinity".
A game of politician chicken.
Are they down now? Accidentally great outcome.
