MD, 100 out of 1500 died in Bataclan - so many survived because they ran.
Given the opportunity, 99 out of 100 people in this situation will run and not charge the attacker.
JH, surrendering is not "in the blood" for the French.
France conquered most of Europe under Napoleon, lost millions in WWI, and fought for decades in Algeria and Vietnam.
Human nature is human nature, and the jihadists will use it against the French, and against the British, and against us.
And plenty of us have lost our nerves and you both know it.
Remember that Muslim terrorist attack on the PARIS-BOUND train in Belgium back in August?
Let me jog your memory.

Exactly who stopped them? Oh, yeah! It wasn’t the French nor any Belgians, but three Americans instead!
And if those Americans hadn’t been there? The whole train would have surrendered instantly and every passenger shot one by one by the bloodlusting Muzzie savages.
During 9/11 not all of the planes made it to their intended targets. And why is that?
