I think it's a sad commentary on the different activites we
provide for our youth. I got to use the can opener on a
folding knife, about age 6 or 8 some where along that age.
Had my first folding knife by 8 or so. Now days, I doubt
that kids are allowed to carry pocket knives, even when not
in school.

I saw an interesting event on Jay Jeno last night: Memebrs
of the five armed
services were trying to open a can of cranberry sauce using
a Swiss army
knife. It was horrible. None of them seemed to have a clear
idea how to use
the can opener attachment, in fact I am pretty sure some of
them used the
wrong attachment. Four of them managed eventually at a cost
of some injuries
and the cans were mangled. One failed to empty the can in
the alloted time.

I wondered about the implications: Is this a reflection on
general
population's unfamiliarity with a can opener? Is this a
reflection on basic
training? Is it because the knife was *Swiss*? It cannot be
because the
knife was *Army* as I believe it was the Army guy who
failed. I hesitate to
cite stress affecting the performance of members of fighitng
forces.

Would members of the Special Forces have done better? One of
the guys made a
creditable effort to rip the can open with his bare hands
but with a minimum
result. How would the US Armed forces stack up against, say,
the Brits or
the Russians?

Is this something to be concerned about? Do I have too much
time on my
hands?

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
