#1  Eventually, I imagine an inordinately complex scenario in which the soldier acts as a green replacement for a very seasoned combat unit. At first, he is led around by the nose and fed volumes of information that is immediately used.

"Nobody is in the room. Nobody move until I use my Silly String to check for booby trap wires!"

Moving to the really important phase:

"We asked this local shopkeeper, and he says it's just a pile of dirt." (But when the soldier looks at the "just pile of dirt", he sees something like a wire sticking out that nobody else noticed. What does he do? Does he just play along, or does he pipe up?)
