What was horrifying to me was learning that the US Army no longer teaches mapreading. That was like learning the US Army no longer teaches riflery. Or that US Army Scouts don't any more.

Was it the stories you thought were somewhere between mild and funny that did it for yours too? Apparently my 'dad used to abandon me and mum by the side of the road miles away from home when he got angry with mum's mapreading, so I taught myself to read maps' story was 'appalling'
