Man Whose Job Never Involved the Use of Firearms Fired for not Knowing How to Use a Firearm.

A US Navy ship's captain was relieved of duty for not knowing how to use a rifle.

Those who fired this captain are the ones too stupid and ignorant to keep their jobs.

In my entire 6 years in the US Navy I never touched a firearm. Why would I? What do firearms have to do with standing watch in the engine room of a submarine?

A quotation from Catullus

I still should not want you to smile on all occasions:
for nothing is more silly than a silly smile.

[Tamen renidere usque quaque te nollem;
Nam risu inepto res ineptior nulla est.]

Catullus (c. 84 BC – c. 54 BC) Latin poet [Gaius Valerius Catullus]
Carmina # 39 β€œTo Egnatius,” ll. 15-16 [tr. McDonnell (1998)]
