18. THe US Navy did this in the 1930's - they had battle exercises and were scored
on how well they did in combat situations. Then they gradually made the situations known in advance so the scores would increase and the officers get promoted. Then they made the situations easier and more planned so it became more of a maneuver exercise so the officers would get promoted...the idea of real training and preparedness was ignored in favor of playing the game.
Like Reagan's "Star Wars" program, (and "Railroad Bill") it never worked and it never will...
