"...There were at least 2 military vets there, one a combat experienced marine..."

Exactly. They are crediting him with potentially saving SEVENTY innocents.
FReepers should stop calling the Marine a coward for not doing more.


"...Todd Beamer had no military training, yet he was able to mount an attack on the armed hijackers..."

Todd Beamer and the other heroes of Flight #93 got the drop on the terrorist hijacking dirtbags who took their plane.
They learned the fate of the other September 11th suicide mission aircraft and planned an excellent surprise counter-attack that almost worked.
They are indeed true American heroes, yet the dynamics of the Orlando scenario and the Flight #93 scenario are totally different.

I’d advise caution here. There are more than a few combat hardened and experienced warriors here on Free Republic. Don’t assume that it’s war gaming by those who wouldn’t know.
