“The key word here is “group.” The sad stories of mass shootings are replete with tales of individual heroism, of the one man who charged the attacker only to be shot down. In Oregon, Chris Mintz resisted and was shot multiple times.

At Fort Hood, Captain John Gaffney reportedly died charging Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan.

But where one man fails, two or three can succeed — just ask Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler, the three American men who foiled an August terrorist attack on a French train.”

Excellent advice.

Also, prayers to Spencer Stone, who was attacked by muzzies and stabbed 4 times in the chest this morning.

And, sometimes, even when it's one good guy against multiple opponents, the good guy prevails. When it's the RIGHT good guy, with the right attitude.

But of course, not if he/she gives up before the fight even begins.

We've been overlooking something, here in the USA. And those three guys on the French train, decorated by the FRENCH government, deserve at least equal recognition from their own....

The Sena Medal, awarded by the Indian Government "for such individual acts of exceptional devotion to duty or courage as have special significance for the Army."
