Online ammo training

In an attempt to turn students of the world into old fashioned scholars of urban combat, SI International Inc. has won a $5 million-dollar Army contract to create an online ammunition and explosives training system — wholesome learning at its best. Prospective students include the military, the Pentagon, state and federal agencies, and chosen allied nations (France is going to love this one). By bypassing the tradional weeklong teacher-student ammunitions course (who really needs one-on-one help with M16s?), the course can be covered through online computer terminal in less than 8 hours. It's good to know that at least the next time we "liberate" a country the troops will have that arduous 8-hour tutorial to stand behind. Sounds about as effective as if we all dragged out our old NES Duck Hunt light pistols for a week-long stint.
