>>>>>[Ah yes, "dumb kid syndrome", a condition present sense the dawn of time. If I had a yen for every one I've ran into, I'd never need to work again. And as for going "easy" on them; hey, if you're big enough to pull the trigger, you reap what you sew. Get your thrills some other way. To many good people have already died because some drekking...no, no, no I WONT go on that rant again... Oh who am I kidding. Dumb is not just the domain of the young. And if I see one more smug, arrogant, wannabe runner/merc egomaniac who thinks they are hot drek just because they have a big gun, some cyber, a fancy ride, nuyen, "SOTA" gear, or heaven forbid a magic trick; I'm going to puke...and then shoot them. I've just spent the past two months in-country dealing with a few so-called "professionals". Watching military trid shows and slotting skill softs do not make you an expert in unit tactics. Also, operational security INCLUDES not shooting your pie-hole off at the local cantina! And heaven forbid if you have to fight without your precious battlecom...This may be the pain meds talking, but my tolerance is near critical mass with some of these jack-wagons. Bad enough the're getting their own people needlessly killed, but I take exception when stupidity and or ego threatens my people and causes unnecessary civilian casualties. If you want to learn something, fine; I'll be the first to teach if you're serious. But if you want to stay critically stupid, get out of my damn way. Situation is bad enough down here as is. If this job wasn't so important, I would have been gone long ago...]<<<<<
