I misread that as

"notjustified.com" and thought it was quite a good name for an ME blog.

That's two odd misreadings today so far.

 

I was reading about neurasthenia yesterday. Apparently the army had a post of "Inspector of temporary non-effectives". I thought that just about sums us up. Unless, of course, it's permanent.

 

That seems very <insert word here when I think of it> of the army.

Given, at a fundamental level, the job of a soldier is to use up the enemies bullets, thus ensuring victory, if your munitions factories and effective logistics are better than theirs.

Given that, the amount of get up and go, otherwise known as enthusiasm, or simple ability to move, of a soldier is of limited effect in the outcome of any particular battle.

In short it doesn't matter, to the bullet, if a soldier is feeling well, this doesn't prevent it doing its job of wounding or killing.

Therefore it is of no interest to the Army.

Such a post/department is a complete waste of resources that could be used to make bullets, or dig holes.

No, I'm not bucking for Sir Simons job lol
