While older ones may be of use in the artillery and armored divisions, the proper place for most child soldiers is the infantry.

Also a failure for actually being funny.

I'm sorry, but you fail your English test. You misspelt 'Navy'

I don't get it.

I thought you were referencing Girls und Panzer, an anime where little schoolgirls operate tanks. In response, I referenced Haifuri, an anime where schoolgirls operate warships.

The word "infantry" is based on the French word for child, on the ludicrous logic that children follow directions and so do foot soldiers.  What super-secret parenting method have the French been hiding all this time???

Traditional parenting, threat of violence.

But French Enfant for a young child is not the source of French Infanterie (the spelling should give that away).

A cat is behind the steering wheel at a four-way-stop during a traffic jam. While other drivers seem to be all the other cars in his lane by, he can't find room no matter how close he looks.

After ten minutes he comes out again, bangs the gun angrily on the recruiters desk and shouts: "It was loaded with blanks, you idiot! I had to break off a leg of the chair and club her to death!"
