PROTIP: if you own a gun over a year without disassembling it on watch at least once, you aren't cleaning it enough. getting NJPed is a natural part of ensuring your weapon's cleanliness and readiness for action when the need to use it arises.

I guess that guy's been at work for a while, though. David Grossman came to the academy and gave us a speech over dinner one evening. We were about to be commissioned (this was back in the 90's) and he kept referring to us all as "managers of violence". Dude seemed to have a real hard on for killing.

In On Killing he admits to never being in combat or fired a shot in anger. Dude unquestionably fetishizes combat and the act of killing. The book is at once both apologizing to those who had to do it, but also emphasizing how amazing and life-changing (both positive and negative) the act is and venerating those who have to MAKE THE TOUGH CHOICES THAT WEAKER MEN CANNOT.

I still think On Killing should still be recommended; but even reading it in HS I found flaws in his Methodology and conclusions, but it still has some good takeaways for troopers. Maybe I'm alone in that. E- actual troops. I had no idea he was training cops until Robert Evans' pod on him. That loving disgusts me. He has no business teaching cops; and maybe is lovely of me, but he should absolutely not ve viewed as an expert on killing. And if he really wanted to get into trouble, he had plenty of opportunity over the years. He's a loving coward who views violence as pornography. bulletsponge13 fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Jul 7, 2020 |

The problem is, it demands you sift through a lot of actively-bad poo poo for the handful of nuggets. And a lot of people are going to take all that bad poo poo and interpret it as not only not-bad, but good. Which, when your subject matter is killing people, is incredibly dangerous. Better to take the few good lessons it has and just republish that without the sea of awful garbage.

One good punch can kill you, unlikely as that seems. Kinda the same reason why any martial arts gym adds the caveat: "this stuff is only for situations you can't get out of" to any training. I was kind of wondering, what happened to that Finnish dude who joined the airborne and proceeded to break his lower half in a motorcycle wreck?

He bases a lot of his work on the work of SLA Marshall. Which is a huge problem. Because SLA Marshall made up most of his facts and figures. All of that effort he puts into making cops absolute shitheads is based on bullshit.

quote:when riding my motorcycle home from work yesterday I lost my ability to walk and ended up having surgery to remove hosed up poo poo between L5 and S1 in the city hospital in Vicenza. quote:So after getting my quarters slip, drove three miles home, but halfway felt a sharp lightning bolt go through my back and almost fell on the bike. After I calmed down I managed to nanny drive it home and quasimodo-walk into my living room where my legs gave out and I couldn’t walk. I had a bad parachute jump on December 13th in 2017, when I originally had incontinence issues and cauda-equina-like symptoms. Not too sure what happened, but probably the lost air in the chute from another jumper caused me to hit the ground hard. The symptoms went away, and allowed me to hide them, and came back AS I was riding the motorcycle home, 8th of January IIRC,. I never crashed on it or anything. I had surgeries at Ospedale San Bortolo in Vicenza Italy, and also went up to Landstuhl for follow up poo poo during the summer. I wrote in very confusing manner during these heavily drugged up times, and it's not super clear from my writing what happened. I was in a pretty bad place because I needed so much help from my wife and my friends, and the medicine did a number on me. I'd sleep for 12 hours, then stay up for 24, and would not remember much of anything. I don't remember writing those forum posts, either, and some members of this very forum told myself, and DM'd my wife on discord for example, to come get her man's when I'd wake up in the middle of the night and zombie out on my computer, talking about moving computer monitors that attack me or some poo poo. My PL would come to my house to supervise me and help me to the bathroom and such when my wife had to run affairs. It was a highly emotional experience, but I can't really see how I could have been luckier. I'm still in Italy, but just started to out-process. I go to Air Force ROTC that starts on 24th August in Charleston, SC, at College of Charleston. I've wrapped up my enlistment on a high note, I got to jump again over a year later from my injury, around May 2018 I think, and then got to jump into D-Day with Romanian SF. Jumped into Hohenfels on a mass tac, and jumped another masstac into Croatia. When I switched from recce platoon to the sapper platoon, my new LT and PSG were both amazing, and helped me to overcome some physical difficulties, and were really the best people to work for. I didn't need profiles to shield my body when I felt like it, and in addition they basically allowed me a free reign in both educational goals and personal freedom in garrison. I'm super happy, and my wife found awesome federal employment here that'll hopefully continue in South Carolina. I started playing on the garrison hockey team and got to take part in the Army vs Air Force game against Aviano AFB, and play in italian amateur tournaments, too. Some body checks definitely rattle my spine, but oh well. Our time in Italy was like a lottery win, and it's really emotionally difficult for my family to leave. My son, who now speaks fluent italian and has done three years of italian school, is pretty devastated. I received TSGLI for my injury, and numbness and tingling remain, and occasionally I do pee my pants. It's pretty funny. It's all medically in control, though, as long as I can pass the PT tests and such. There is some pretty decent constant pain, but unless I think about it, it doesn't really bother me. I really don't mind, and I put in effort to dodge the MEB, too, so I can pursue this commission. I have passed a flight physical, too. It's the reality that my quality of life, and physical ability, at around late forties to early fifties will be pretty terrible with statistical look of people of similar circumstances. But there's nothing I can do about, besides live in a bubble, and if this would be the payment to receive all that I've received, I'd take that option any day, over and over again. D-Day 75th.  pantslesswithwolves posted:That’s Vakhalya (spelling?) you’re talking about, and if I recall correctly, someone else asked this within the last year and someone who knows him said he’s doing fine and enjoying his enlistment. I do love it, I consider it the best experience of my life so far. I also realize that my experience, my superiors, and my assignments and jobs that I've had do not reflect the average experience of a medic.

Had a management member ask me why I felt it necessary to pull my gun on an attacker with a knife back at my old job. Blew my mind that she didn’t thank me for not shooting a guy if I could have avoided it. Even the police asked me why I didn’t shoot him.
