Stupid skills you haven't got - because you were in the army
I love it when you get credited with skills, character traits or other general shite for having served some time in your life.
Two of my favourites, for example
"You used to be in the army, you should be good at lighting fires."
"You used to be in the army, you should be good at putting up tents."
What?!?

Nope. Mostly slept in trenches and shell scrapes. Originally Posted by davyskuller

Re: Stupid skills you haven't got - because you were in the army
You were in the Army, can you come and kill my chicken? (Honestly - and no, I didn't).
"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
