Why look?

Or why do you have your feet positioned that way?

Look because it illustrates that the forces Inia has deployed appear to be competent.

Why you want you feet like that is to keep your heels from being shot off.

It is a sign of training and attention to detail. Kinda gives you a warm fuzzy about who is in charge.

I was impressed by reports of the competence and attention to details of the Raj Hotel staff. People described being told to stay in their rooms, lock door, turn off cell phones (ringing would alert bad guys someone was in room),
close curtains.

They proceeded to turn off the TV’s so terrorists could not see coverage of the rescuers and troops in the streets.

Finally - they called each room to update them about every 15 to 20 minutes. Guests said that they were calm, and very matter-of-fact; obviously they had a plan.

Impressive - particularly when I think of the seeming competence of the average hotel worker in the U.S.
