So is it the soldier's choice when they have to put on the spring
compressors to get it onto the aircraft? Or when their First Sergeant gives
them an Article 15 when they have been caught the THIRD time going over the
authorized 30 MPH speed limit?

I remember reading a Popular Mechanics article from about 1941, where the US
Navy was praising the great advances of the Douglass Devastator Torpedo
Bomber (which had been made in 1935, not 1941) and how there wasn't a ship
afloat which could survive a Torpedo attack by one of them. Anybody
remember Ensign George Gay?

There is one thing you can count on from Joe, GI, one each. And that is to
thoroughly explore, research and test and completely F*** up and break any
piece of equipment ever issued to him, in relatively short time, and without
any guidance.
Some commanders think of this as bad. I personally think its better to have
it fail in training than when you really need it. Besides, the Officer's
usually signed for it. It you break it, he buys it.
