Great! You've changed your tune and admitted your error when you originally accused the guy of causing a 'backdraft." Now it's a 'venturi' - thanks!

Anyway, nice to see you admit you were mistaken.

Too bad you didn't answer my question, but at least you're facing your errors so it's a start! Keep it up.

LOL! There's a major difference? Don't both have to do with airflow?

Too bad you didn't answer my question,

I didn't???? You don't think the following addresses your question:

"If it was a case where these guys saw a dog in a burning building and there was nobody around to put the fire out, they would probably do whatever was necessary to try to save the dog's life. But, on the other hand, if there were already trained fire fighters on scene addressing the fire, my guess is these guys (who are trained to follow orders) would probably not interfere with the trained firefighters who would wait to make sure it was safe enough to send a fellow trained firefighter in to save the dog. They most certainly wouldn't risk making an already dangerous situation even more dangerous by recklessly breaking a sliding glass door and risk causing a venturi which would cause the fire to burn even hotter than it already was. You may not have noticed this in the story, but as much as those guys loved the dog, they trained it to chase perpetrators!"

Oh, by the way. Did you notice that those guys love the dog so much that they intentionally sent it into harm's way? Do you know why? Because as much as they loved the dog, they valued the life of a fellow soldier more than the life of the dog. I would say that puts them in the same mindset as the firefighters.
