But yeah, I agree with Rae's point about sometimes inter character conflict can do more harm than good, particularly in PBEMS.

In the rare instances when I get to play, my choice is to play draftees or Air Force or Navy characters, which covers for my lack of knowledge regarding Army procedure.
When I was in the green machine, there was a running joke about Army procedure:

1) Shoot anything that moves, using all available automatic weapons.
2) Have the mortars bomb the grid square.
3) Call in Redleg (artillery) to dump DPICM/HE/WP over the area.
4) Call in gunships to stafe the @%#^#$ out of the place.
5) When smoke clears, scout area, if any fire is received, repeat.
