> Fuck if I know but let me tell you in the Army at least the Band is about the most ridiculed and laughed at specialty. They are almost universaly held in contempt because they wear the uniform but do nothing to earn it. And I'd like to ad they are disliked by the non-combatants too.
What the hell? Do nothing to get there? Yeah, they're goal isn't to directly defend the country but get your facts straight! #1, only the most elite get into the forces' bands. #2, they have to do boot camp and such, same as anyone else. #3, Believe me, they do a lot more than nothing to get into that band. It's usually a life aspiration with multiple years of training to get in.
Admitted, this has little to do with CF or the bards battleragers, but I had to throw that in there.
