Oh, I believe that you're a tick because you're parasitic in nature and essentially, you suck.

My grandfathers were both too old to fight in WWI one of them was actually 51 when the war started (really) the other was 34 and in a reserved occupation, anyway. He was a farmer growing food and they didn't like to see them go overseas, just their sons.
His spouse's young siblings did though. A great uncle of mine went to France in 1916, just turned 16. He almost made it to the 21st century. He drove teams of horses limbering guns for the artillery and ended up breeding those Belgian horses back in Canada,he was so impressed with them.
Another world ... so was our Cold War Navy.
We have a smaller but better one, now.
Good to see that law enforcement in the US is able to get the perps who start fires. Here in BC we are still waiting for charges against the one(s) who started the Ashcroft Reserve fire. RCMP determined it was human caused but not a single person has been charged to date. Sad that, considering the millions of dollars spent fighting the fire, the thousands of dollars lost in structural damage and the wages lost by all those forced to evacuate.
Yes. They do a fair bit of vegetation management because downed lines are expensive to repair. We do get the odd fire from trees on the line or transformers blowing up.
