Honestly don know why Americans are so averse to the idea of mandatory civil service. I get not wanting to canada goose outlet las vegas serve in the military for cheap canada goose certain moral or religious reasons, but having your country guarantee two years of employment and career training between the ages of 16 and 20 sounds like a great method of solving things like benefit dependence, student debt crisis, homelessness, and generational poverty problems. Not that it would ever happen, but I would absolutely endorse a system that helps transition high schoolers into an actual vocation before just saying, “congratulations you an adult! go figure it out!”

With regard to (1): yes, but muskets themselves weren that inaccurate, it was scared soldiers that were. There was a paper (Krenn et al., 1995) where even 16th century weapons could hit a man size target 50% of the time at 100m range.

I think I read a while ago simply reloading and firing your weapon in the general direction of the canada goose outlet washington dc enemy while under fire was extraordinarily psychologically difficult.
