"this game cannot be made 100% safe but one must always keep the odds on one's side when one can"
Thanks for sharing that Bill.
In essence this is what Dick is trying to facilitate with his request for change, but it's turned into a noisy turf war between civvy street and the mil, and nobody seems to be listening.

Precisely. Find a way to keep the odds on side for both civvy street and the Mil and everyone will benefit.
