I read in the papers that Spain is going to send easy-to-handle grenade launchers to Ukraine, “Intended for people with no weapons experience.” I suppose that means that they are going to send them without ammunition, which is the safest way for someone with no experience in handling it to use a weapon, lest they inadvertently shoot their own Army -you take a grenade launcher upside down and he doesn’t realize it until he’s shot back – and we have a diplomatic incident. Or maybe they are wooden grenade launchers, which are also harmless, weigh less and are much more suitable for all kinds of people, including women and children. Be that as it may, Spain is doing well, as always, since, if it’s about supporting Ukraine without being too noticeable In order not to further divide the government, it is better to send weapons for amateurs, the ones that hardly kill.
-You aim through the viewfinder, and when you have the target within range, say ‘pum’.
Ukrainians inexperienced in weapons They must be impatiently waiting for the convoy from Spain, the only country that has noticed them. The rest of the states limit themselves to sending weapons to the Army, as has been done all their lives, and they do not think about dressmakers, teachers, hairdressers, retirees and formworkers who also have the right to participate in the war. Only Spain takes into account fans who, if not full-time, may want to throw a grenade at a tank after work.
-‘Bang!’
-What do you mean ‘bang’? That’s not a revolver, it’s a grenade launcher! Please say ‘thumb’. And do not point there, that tank is one of ours. Lucky that it is a Spanish weapon.
since the Spanish Government is divided between those who want to send weapons to Ukraine and those who do not -plus Irene Montero, who goes about her business and is indignant because weapon is a feminine name-, the Solomonic solution of arming inexperienced people has been chosen, so that at least they don’t kill a lot. With this system, in addition, the government confirms itself as one of those that most fights for equality, since it is about weapons that the whole family can use, from the grandmother to the baby. In addition to family conciliation, since one day the husband can go out to shoot, and the next the wife while he stays with the children, because one is already fed up with the fact that, with the excuse of going to throw grenades, the very tarambana returns home every day at dawn and smelling of vodka.
-You see, Irene, an ideal war of death for you.
– Well, I’m sorry, Pedro, but we will be against it until “a grenade launcher” is called “a grenade launcher.”

Leaving aside those small imbalances that will be resolved, it is a fact that thanks to the Spanish Government, the signs of “No experience required” will not only be read in telephone operator job offers, but also wars will be open to anyone who wants to carve out a future in them, even if his experience is limited to winning a teddy bear at the fair’s target shooting.
Initiatives like the Spanish one mean that the times are gone when you had to be a knight to go to war. Or those others in which it was required to be a professional soldier, when, as happens with football, professionalism ended the romanticism of wars, now each soldier fights for money, without feeling the colors or anything. The democratization of war, that is indeed a sign of civilization. At least that’s not how the government fights.
