Different angle from me, a former soldier...

WTF was this lame-arse soldier doing VIDEOTAPING a frickin’ massacre? Why wasn’t he pulling friends to safety? Considering options to engage with a makeshift weapon? Organizing a defense plan?

I’m ex-infantry, so the fight vs. flight instinct is VERY strong in me. I could never videotape something like this instead of acting and live with myself.

That was my first thought: Why didn't that room full of combat trained troops dogpile that single shooter -- using chairs, tables, etc. as missiles and shields?

My very first reaction: "This was an abject failure of Army training!"
