Jim - I resemble that remark....

Boba - You're on the right track.

One thing I do want to point out is that many engineers are SUCCESSFUL terrorists or terrorist leaders. Our training shows us how to analyze things, break them down into solvable chunks, then go and solve them. The training could be helpful to understand the weak point of a vehicle, a bridge, etc, to do maximum damage. We LOOK FOR weakness. Our intention is to FIX it. But a terrorist with the same skills will use that knowlege for evil.

Remember, for the first 150+ years of our country, our military leaders all had to get Engineering degrees. Anyone who went to West Point or Annapolis, was an Engineer.
