Agree RnderSafe..

It's easy to be a "cool guy" here and say stuff like that, but try to encounter situations like that in real life and see if you can back up what you just said!...
Try to do some more thinking before you post comments like this in the future!!

Post; well


Well, id have to say that it would take more guts to not shoot back in some cases. I am not sure I could let some one point a gun at me and not shoot him...

My comment was not ment towards shooting or not, but towards his "bust-a-cap-in-his-ass" attitude..
I don't think he (or most others as well) would have that kind of an attitude in a real life threatening situation..
"You talk the talk, but do you walk the walk!?....."....

That "return fire" rule cannot be applied everywhere. Here in Israel we have huge problems with it, not just because sometimes terrorist are using civilians as cover(and when civs get killed=mass media hysteria and scandals), but also because some soldiers just cant kill a human.

P.S Anybody seen the movie "Rules of Engagement". Nice film, its exactly about our topic.

Rules of Engagement was a great movie and I think that it shows a great example of the problems that military face when they are under those circumstances and is a great example of this forum
