"And those of us that actually believe in our hearts that we could have done an incredible amount of soul searching, usually after we actually started carrying, to come to that conclusion."
I've seen guys in the military and during my 34+ yrs as a cop who thought the same thing. We trained together and we all trained alike. But when it came time to do it some just weren't able. Capt Charlie explained it very well. We can train and make ourselves believe but it's not until you look the actual flesh and blood in the eye that you'll really know. It's not until you can smell it, taste it, and feel it that you will really know.
No one knows what they'll do. They only know what they did before but no one knows what they'll do the next time.
"So much for being a bunch of ignorant, bloodlusting, rednecks trying to make up for little tallywhackers."
Ain't nuttin wrong with that.
