It's one thing to prowl around the woods blasting Bambi, Thumper or even squirrels but quite another to have some well armed army shooting back at y'all.

Look at the damage a few poorly armed Afghans did to the Soviets. Or what some poorly armed ISIS are

Hey JohnnyMop...y'all told us right here in this group that you commanded an artillery unit 20 miles from any danger...unless you call doubles at the Officer's Mess as dangerous.

Bull****. I never commanded an artillery unit and never said I did. As an officer I was a Combat
Engineer.

Get your head out of your ass.

Since few artillery guns have that kind of range, that wouldn't make much sense anyway. Besides, if you're in range to reach out and touch someone with arty, that means you can be touched as well. You're definitely not out of harm's way.
