BIA: Advertising Fodder?

Steve Williams · Monday, November 26th 2012 at 3:35AM · 390 views
Cannon fodder is an informal, derogatory term for military personnel who are regarded or treated as expendable in the face of enemy fire. The term is generally used in situations where soldiers are forced to deliberately fight against hopeless odds (with the foreknowledge that they will suffer extremely high casualties) in an effort to achieve a strategic goal. An example is the trench warfare in World War I. The term may also be used (somewhat pejoratively) to differentiate infantry from other forces (such as artillery, air force or the navy), or to distinguish expendable low-grade or inexperienced soldiers from supposedly more valuable veterans.[citation needed]

The term derives from fodder, food for livestock. Soldiers are the metaphorical food for enemy cannon fire.[1]

Question: Do BIA management take an active role in support of the site's preamble? Recent events seem to argue the contrary.

Robert, I am tired, been up all night. I have had an answer from one of the principles. The one thing I wish for more than anything is honesty. Can't make any headway without it. Yesterday wore me out. I hope management will "keep it real".

Management is here now. That's a good thing.
