I've always thought there should be some type of incentive offered for doing the right thing (other than just knowing that you did the right thing) when the punishments for being unsafe/illegal when driving are so soft in this country. 

China gives you credits.

You can eat at a restaurant.

My rental this week is a Ford Fusion.  It's got a graphic in the dash that shows vines with leaves.

If you drive slow and gently and kinder,  the vines grow leaves until it's a jungle.

If you hotrod it,  the leaves drop off and flutter away.

I've had great fun making sure that it's just a bare vine each time I park it.

The major gets promoted, the men doing the work got shot.  

Like fighting to take a hill, only to give it back.

A commanding officer was quoted during the Korean war, as saying that the enemy has a complete disregard for their soldiers lives in battle.  Our job is to convince them that we have equally as much disregard as they do. IIRC Hamburger Hill.   

WWI was a war managed by Europe's aristocracy, and since they had little real knowledge of battle tactics, it turned into a war of attrition.  When stupid people wage war, it is the soldier that takes the brunt of the pain.

One of the best philosophies of war was a quote from General Patton:

"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."  George S. Patton
