Ehhhh it means literary that a soldiers skills are just as important as having hi tech gadgets ?(Read it a couple times, I can assure you it will be easier after a few times.)
It takes skill to fly a F-22, right?
It takes skill to fly a helo right under Pakistans nose under operation Geronimo, right?
I am surprised to find a military men who dont think a soldiers skill can be decisive in a battle. :shocked:
I don't find your being surprised that a soldiers skill being axiomatic is something extraordinary.
One has to understand the routine from the extraordinary.
To a unlessoned civilian,holding a rifle would appear to be an 'extraordinary skill'.
Do you find that you recognising the alphabets of your language, 'extraordinary'?
If not, I don't find knowing the basics of soldiering by a soldier in any way 'extraordinary'!
I hope that you clear your confusion!
