Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don't think will happen domestically.

Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don't believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.

An arms length. We used to be sorted be height and you put your arm out and shuffle in until just touching with your finger tips. Then arms down and you are at attention and in formation.

I complain about this all the time to my friends in the US! Mostly with distance measurements, but still. I wish the US would use C, metric etc.

I live alone and one of these biscuit containers popped open inside my fridge by itself! It was pretty loud as it rattled a bunch of other glass in there, but I didn't realize what it was at first. I was sure someone banged on my window and was super paranoid all night. Scared the hell out of me lol so dumb.

Absolutely it. Happened to me standing for a memorial service. Lots of stories from military where this happens, and "don't lock your knees" is often taught first thing.

less common spelling of doofus slang : a stupid, incompetent, or foolish person

We used to smoke in the car even when not going anywhere or driving. Hotboxing is a thing, and depending on outside weather or family nearby its the best place to get away for this!

The exterior design introduces flush motorised door handles, a first for a Nissan production vehicle

I really don't like these handles! I do like the overall look though.

Ya and there are many gaps. Or angle grinders can cut the lower part of the poles no problem.
