And rightfully so Peter, us Infantry goons can break any good piece of kit, no reason to give us the slightest excuse "like the rifle came out of the shop already broken". LOL.

An EME friend of mine who used to work on our LAV 3 fleet often quote the old adage:

You can give an Infanteer a rock and an anvil, then leave him alone on a hill for 2 hours and when you come back the rock will be lost and the anvil will be broken. When you ask him what happened, he'll shrug his shoulders and say "I dunno".
