So it's the equivalent of firing a machine gun over soldiers heads while they crawl under barbed wire in boot camp? So they keep calm and don't panic while they're actually being taken into a room and executed?

But it's useless 'training' anyway, unless their entire plan is just to instill fear and induce a siege mentality.

If you want actual results, I have a plan that will work. First, from a young age you replace gym class with a special course that includes small unit tactics, hand-to-hand combat training, crew-served weapons, and so-on, and here's the kicker: you do it all with the kids under hypnosis. So when an active shooter comes in, instead of calling a lockdown the principal announces the conditioning trigger phrase over the PA, and the kids all instantly start breaking pairs of scissors in half and taping them to ends of yardsticks and forming themselves into units of spearmen (or spearkids). The shooter comes in hoping to pop off a bunch of toddlers easy-peasy, and instead runs into an entire school full of crack child soldiers with absolutely no fear of death and only the desire to throw themselves at the enemy.

right now NZ is beating us at our national pastime (mass shootings) so if we want to keep the title we're gonna have to buckle down and train to make sure our mass shooters have as easy and problem-free a time as possible

if we don't run into locked doors or unxpected resistance we can probably break triple digit body counts but we're not gonna do that without practice

these trainings aren't being created by experts who are following scientifically-validated practices. they're created by the sheriff's cousin''s unemployed ex-coworker, who makes up some poo poo that sounds good and looks dramatic, and then the sheriff pays him a couple thousand bucks out of the department budget to teach that course he pulled out of his rear end to a couple of officers, who are then sent to schools

What's the point of teaching people to be executed? Isn't 'calmly wait to die like a dimwitted farm animal' an objectively dumb as gently caress lesson? Why not 'If this starts to happen fling yourselves en mass at the guy with the gun and tear him apart or die trying'?

What's the logic here? Isn't anyone at all asking complicated questions like 'why are we doing this?'? Its along the lines of answering 'You're crossing the highway and see a truck coming, what do?' with 'Lie down in the middle of the road and patiently wait for the wheels to crush your skull, obviously.

I'm sure there's a certain legal liability attached to teaching people to fight back who then fail to do so effectively. Better to just have white night drills.

Is that actually true, or was that just our (U.S.) propaganda to defend carpet bombing/nuking? Or maybe it's both

Frog Act

it's extremely unlikely the Japanese population would have gone along with that, towards the end of the war there were several near-coups from the various generals who had been down with the conquest and establishment of fiefdoms throughout China but were concerned about waging an eternal existential war against the Americans. there probably wouldn't have ever been a conditional surrender but there were definitely factions who hoped for that. that being said, Japanese nationalists and right-wing hawks genuinely believed that the citizens of Japan would be willing to die en masse and propagandized the poo poo out of a glorious death, but there were plenty of people around who remembered a pre-insane nationalist era in Japanese and wouldn't go along with it

Americans definitely emphasized the right-wing narrative in order to justify our bombing campaigns and the atomic bombs, and then we immediately jumped into bed with those exact people after the war, including the literal Yakuza because all McCarthur cared about was anticommunism

This makes Australia's callously lazy defence plan for Japanese invasion even better. 'She'll be right mate. Retreat to the south of the country and wait for the Japanese supply lines to experience the welcoming bosom of thousands of kilometers of hostile desert devoid of food or water while we fire up the barbie.' .

Running active shooter drills that involve firing blanks, carrying out airsoft mock executions at point blank range and kicking down classroom doors is 100% LARPing by sadistic cops.

It would be akin to running fire drills by filling the school with smoke and letting firefighters roam the halls axing doors, smashing windows and soaking classrooms with water as students evacuate in a panic.

There was that time when, after two cities fell to atomic bombs, some military officers were so against surrender that they tried to depose a god in order to prevent it.

that's how basically all police-related or police-adjacent training comes around

drug dog training, forensics training, you name it. they're all little totally-unregulated cottage industries that sprung up when some ex-cop noticed an impending trend in the police industry, retired to found a company based around that trend, and then used their close relationship with their old department to land their first couple of sales

this particular training program was invented by a cop who realized after Columbine that there was gonna be big money in selling security theater to school districts, so he retired to found a company dedicated to that, hired his wife as an executive director, and hired his son as a trainer. they'll train and certify cops to be qualified instructors for the low low price of $695 per person, which needs to be renewed every two years. then the cops go out and train schools on their own without the organization's direct involvement

yeah I mean there was a core cadre of absolute psychopaths that would have committed to the war no matter what, but I think theres basically no chance the like five million or whatever scattered young Japanese men occupying various locales would have gone along with anything like that. it also strikes me that the complete and utter lack of resistance from the Japanese re: the actual occupation sort of indicates how uninterested the general populace was in continuing any kind of conflict at that point
