That reminds me of the quote for we where soldiers once and young

"Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: I think you oughta get yourself an M-16.

Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Sir, if the time comes I need one, there'll be plenty lying on the ground. "

[pps43]

When the time comes he needs one, it's already too late to learn how to use it.
