re: #326 HappyWarrior

I can’t really condemn the guy for trying but I think it’s been pointed out that he probably had no idea what to do once the situation presented itself. And I guess that’s the problem I have with what I’ll call a gung-ho attitude. You may think you’re ready for a situation like that but chances are that you are not.

People who train for these situations as part of their job aren’t always ready when the real thing happens. As I tried to point out above, real life is quite a bit different from what you see in the movies or on tv.
