"I can't disagree if the military has formally decided to drop celestial
nav training. I don't think it has much of a role given the time and
budget requirements these days, against the other options available. While
cavalry sabres are also still functional, you don't see those being issued
to the troops in the field any more either."
Robert responds,
A very good point Jared (no pun intended), however, the army still issues
their troops with bayonets and trains them on their use.
cheers,
