I wonder if anyone had the sense to suggest pinning him down with small arms fire and then using artillery to deliver the killing barrage.  Seems pretty obvious :stupid: to me, but these liberal-arts types tend not to think that way.

 

I believe that Aristotle advocated for military training. The outcome was for squires to learn chess. 

 

So im to believe that a good liberal arts education would include strategy & tactics. Sun Tzu's Art of World of Warcraft should be on the "must read" list.

About 20 years ago, when I was at the Enormous State University, some twit in the Philosophy Department proposed making an ethics course required for graduation (so that the Philosophy Department could have, oh, 8000 students take thir courses a year, rather than, oh, 18).

 

I said I could support that proposal if and only if students caught cheating in it were irrevocably and immediately expelled.  (I was encountering a fair number of acts of academic dishonesty, up to and including a student submitting a download from schoolsucks.com.)

 

The twits in Philosophy were not amused.
