Proposal: Don’t waste Army resources. Not even people.
High Command has given the proposed changes to the law the go-ahead, recognising that the loss of any object from light machine guns to limbs is not evocative of success (although they were not aware Soldiers were capable of losing weapons that they possessed; they may have underestimated the intelligence and versatility of their fine army).

If a rule or subrule contains the following text:
There may be certain things that are physically possible, but which go against the spirit needed for a functioning army to behave.
but has no title, give it the title “Martial Law”.
This proposal has no effect if (after any such change is made) there is not a rule or subrule with the title “Martial Law.”
Create a new subrule (or subsubrule) under the rule or subrule with title “Martial Law.”, with the title “No Wasters”:
It is a breach of martial law to perform an action which causes another Soldier’s health to reduce. (Enemy Combatants are not Soldiers for the purpose of this rule.)
It is a breach of martial law to lose a weapon or other non-Ammo munition. (Exchanging a weapon for another one is not losing the original weapon, even if you no longer have possession of the weapon you exchanged away.)
Weapons are valuable. So are bandages. Accidental grenade losses are costing the Army a fortune, stop it.
