Let us never forget that combat isn’t the only dangerous activity members of the military engage in. ► 6.4/93.6 “It is a habit of mankind to entrust to careless hope what they long for, and to use sovereign reason to thrust aside what they do not desire.” — Thucydides; quoted by Victor Davis Hanson, The Second World Wars | |||

I don't remember if it was Don Shipley or Jocko Willink who talked about a SEAL in their experience who was fast roping and had a belt hung knife slip partly out of the sheath cutting the rope and causing an accident.
