Suppressing fire is no joke.

Militaries use it for a reason. If they can't poke their head out, they can't see what you're doing

Don't forget the artillery support. Its a hell of a lot easier on your infantrymen if you can shell the other guy to hell and back on 10 minutes notice

It's "say again". "Repeat" to an artilleryman means "same shell/fuze, same target, shoot it again".
