| The rightsizing seems like a good idea, and the interim secretaries makes sense. I like the idea as less is more. The competition for such positions, as mentioned, would make actual campaigning possible potentially. Overall, I can add nothing at this time but like the solutions presented. As for Pau... |

| “Rebel Yell” of sorts has been used through the ages. Any scream or intense sound (i.e. bagpipes or drums) in conjunction with others to intimidate or pray upon an enemies morale is nothing new. “There isnt anything new under the sun”. In fact, we even coach our kids here when becoming “set” on the ... |

| Overall, I find the new toolbar better now that I'm getting used to it although not to any significant degree. I often still use 'menu selections' for many things in stead of 'buttons'. I can see that adjusting to it from the 'Classic' toolbar would be more problematic. I agree. The new toolbar is ... |

| If you use a weapon (gun, Molotov cocktail, whatever) in a war then you are a combatant. If you are in a hospital, taking cover in a theatre/shopping centre/non-militarised residential area/etc or fleeing a city via an agreed evacuation corridor then you are a civilian.

| Totally concur Paul! Both of them with Clausewitz are still a pinnacle part in the Bundeswehr principles. Concerned that the author probably thinks Wellington won Waterloo.
