A very good friend of mine has seen the very ugly side of combat. Up close and personal.
I don't ask him about what he has seen or what he has done, but sometimes he just tells me.
He told me when "they" come, if he gets one before "they" get him, he'll call it even. Everything after that are just bonus points, and a sign from God that he's on the Right Side.
He's made me understand that we may be called upon to kill our fellow countrymen. He says once you cross that line, you can not stop. "They" can try you as many times as "They" want, but "They" can only kill you once.
Make your life count.
You can make it count by making it easier for your fellow patriots to eliminate the enemy by leaving them fewer targets.
I reckon "practice makes perfect" is the proper response... I mostly practice with my air rifle, but I can knock the tail feathers off a grackle in flight! So bring it on sez I...
Somewhere, someone is training to kill you. What are you doing about it?
Training harder
ReplyDelete...practice,practice,practice...
