Goddamnit people, when you see this crap, stop them. He's not just destroying the trailer, he's destroying the public roadway that won't be repaired for decades if ever. If you just laugh and point, don't complain when your commute feels like driving through a bomb testing range.

As much as we would like those who pass judgement on us to be intelligent, the notion that this test-range is based on, is stable from a governing perspective.

Take the emotion out (concerns of ones personal safety/punishment) and review the situation again.

i.e. Businesses are financially driven and therefore do not hire people that are over educated for a role, as they do tend to feel unsatisfied and eventually will leave for a reason that falls within a bell curve (knowing they can do more). This sensibility is in direct relation to sustainability. If as a standard they kept hiring people unnecessarily skillful who will likely get bored and also know they could do something more intelligent/challenging/satisfying, they would blow all their money and go out of business.

Would you rather have,
1. No service (or and including, a perpetually collapsing service that exists only by way of endless cash injections that drains a countries budget), or
2. A relatively ok service that is trained to follow a fairly simple set of guidelines, with a dispute system (courts) to back up any non-time sensitive poor decisions?

There's no justifiable value to a required service if it's not sustainable.

They will still hire intelligent people, but for the right roles, which will be with different testing criteria. Not the more common base-level operator (widespread foot soldier) roles.

Funny, but let's be honest, when kids are disparaged from skipping class, rarely is that followed with "because your carelessness will lead you to accidentally stumble into an explosive testing range where your limbs will be comically torn asunder as you are killed sequentially in classic horror movie fashion."

^ no. though it's easy to see why you would wonder.

it's a test range dummy building, though.

just a mockup, with a target painted on it.

Yeah, generally local civilian populations don't like having gunnery test ranges in their back yards... I was in Puerto Rico just before the Naval range off Vieques finally got shut down, it was much the same response. Its not that the Japanese hate American troops, they're probably just sick of hearing artillery fire over their morning tea and paper.

Explains my question on your part 1 of this story, Japan can get fucking cold.
