    And the results of the IRS vs. DMV battle (each side consisting of 500 personnel)

    Casualties


    Total Dead: 750

    Total wounded: 250, consisting of mainly severe paper cuts, staples, ulcers, migraines, burst blood vessels, and ripped out hair (generally self inflicted).

    Materials

    Number of mature trees used to make forms: 456,674

    Staples fired: 5,674,324

    Conclusion

    In such a horrific conflict such as this between inhumanly cruel adversaries there were no winners

    Only survivors

    And even they will carry the scars and red "REJECTED" stamps on their bodies for the rest of their lives.





    Cheers

    This whole show is a joke. They try to compare two weapons, but put them through different tests. Also, the weapons they assign to the warriors are off (Wallace with the Claymore, IRA with the flamethrower, etc.). They're not really testing warriors, but their weapons. It should be called "Deadliest Weapons".

    I don't know that they're really "testing " anything. Thier thousand simualtions for an average outcome assumes the the simulations have some validity. I did have to laugh my **** off at the Zulu supporters though, counting on fighting spirit to carry the day. It reminded me of the allied high command in the early days of WWI, convinced that machine guns were no match for calvary because of the horsmens' superior "elan".

    IRA vs the Taliban? You are right it is a war of attrition. Give them each a thousand bombs. At the end of the day the IRA is out of bombs, but the Taliban have at a minimum one thousand casualties.

    Jamie, you are of course assuming the battle actually takes place and doesn't get bogged down with bureaucratic paralysis.

    My thought is that the IRS would declare an audit, but the DMV would counter by closing down the station.
