    Medicine or Law......?

    By my own opinion, I believe you should take medicine because Law is not expandable whereas medicine is. What it means is that Law has been clearly written down and that's it. As for medicine, people make new discovery almost everyday and still lots to be discovered. Try not to pick something...

    What if a military officer is drunk?

    Technicaly, no. An order from an drunk officer would be considered an illegal order. But you have to be able to prove he was drunk at a court marshal. You would need a blood alchol test from a hospital and several witnesses.

    Any Male soldier in the Army can try out for it if he meets the age and rank requirement. I believe it is at least 22 years of age and an E5-E8. The Delta recruiters come around to Army bases twice a year recruiting. It is not a big secret, it is usually advertised in the base News Paper. It...

    Which bicycle would be best for touring?

    Any decent road bike with moderate gearing(48/36/26) and a 34 tooth cassette gear should get you over the passes just fine. If you want fenders, make sure there are attach points. As you'll be pulling a trailer, the stock rims riding on kevlar belted tires should be ok. How the bike fits you...

    Comfortable bicycle seat?

    Visit you local bike shop and explain your problem to them. Ask if they will let you try a saddle for a day or two, with return privileges. If the first one won't do that, try another one. If you aren't near a real bike shop, buy at a box store, try it out, and return if you don't like it.

    I think the answer to your question is more psychological than military. There is just something deep rooted in the DNA of every Male that mkaes him want to be a great warrior.Some grow out of it and some dont. This was necessary for survival in ancient times and whether we realize it or not...
