Dear Blog Guy,
My son is three, and I don’t feel as though he’s learning enough about munitions. Any ideas?
Dad
I know what you mean. It’s getting so tough to find day-care places with artillery ranges these days. But judging from this somewhat unsettling photo from Romania, if you’re willing to send him away to school, well… However, when they tell you he needs a mortarboard for graduation, you may want to ask some follow-up questions.

- Posted by Shawn HendricksSure, Mickey. You could mount a magazine there and get rapid fire. Problem is, every time it shoots, you gotta reposition and level just a bit, then adjust your azimuth and elevation. If you end up dropping rounds in your own troops, that would be a bad thing. Keep up the good ideas, though.
