“Weapons don’t make the man.
Weapons are inert, inanimate objects with no will or volition.”
Glad you understand that. Military and Police training don’t make the man either.
Heart makes the man.
Now we ask what should a normal man born in India. Has the influences of a couple hundred years of British culture do when he sees multitudes being machine gunned in the street?
He should adopt a prone position steady his weapon and squeeze off a round at the nearest terrorist.
No?
He has had some training-even you will admit. He also has worked through some scenarios in his mind-—law enforcement types do that-—even in India.
These men had everything they needed (as the photographer rightly recognised) to limit the number of casualties.
Admit it my friend. Your pusillanimous excuses for these reluctant cops carry no water.
I hope you would do your duty in a situation like this.
If not, you need some heart surgery.
Listen.
My father was an up from the ranks Major that checked out with the loss of his arm at the Rhine river.
I failed my physical, didn’t get a pass, then went across the country and lied upon entry and went on to be a SF Sergent.
I don’t need any lectures from the likes of you.
I ‘ve worked and trained third world out from the bush kids that dropped their weapon the first time they fired it.
There are martial families and there are artsy families. There are martial cultures and there are cowardly cultures.
At one time, out and out right killers thought blacks couldn’t fight.
You neither have history, science or common military drill to back you up.
You are a very, very sloppy thinker. You have no, zero information as to the training,quality, testing of these men. The fact that they acted so uniformly hints at some sort of orgaintional failure. Becasue,as you imply one of them should of fired. That none did is telling, and I ascribe it to the leadership (such that it is) and training.
