Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

I was just watching Fox News. Jim Dunnigan the house "military expert", ex
SPI, Strategy &Tactics guru was opining about the missile fired at the
Israeli jet in Kenya. It missed.
He offered the opinion that unless they are maintained properly, the heat
seeking mechanisms will not work properly.
Thanks, Jim. I'm sure Al Quaeda will pass this expert information down the
line. Better luck next time?
What a moron.
See what happens when wargamers become "military experts"?

Which, of course, by judging what Jim said, is the same error you just
committed...lol

"Emerson's hobgoblin quotation is a shield for the weak."
-Cleaves

Even more so when it is used entirely out of context...

Jim isn't the best public speaker in the world, and he and I often disagree
on the finer points of things realted to warfare, but he knows a HECK of a
lot more about world military events and issues than the average civilian
wargamer. He is certainly not a maroon and in any case ought not to be
called so here.
And this is wayyyyyy off-topic, so I am leaving it.

This is why the old D&D had separate rolls for intelligence and wisdom.
