What is still the most dangerous weapon in the US Army inventory?

A Second Lieutenant with a map!

I still have the map of my battalion's area of operations in Germany. I assembled it when I was the Battalion S-4, to illustrate the logistical challenges of providing short range air defense to Bitburg, Hahn, and Spangdahlem air bases.

6/56 ADA, motto "Night Hides Not".

I started competitive orienteering when I was 12 and stayed active in the sport through college up to my commissioning. As a 2LT, I made a fool of a lot of people who bought into that trope.
