I just don't think that needed to be posted on HC And I have to say I disagree with you. He wrote the piece for some other type of reason. And if this responmse was not like combat...I'd like to know what it was. And yes I do understand fear.. When fighting fires during the riots in Baltimore in the late 60's ..we had those people shooting and throwing bricks at us...and just as it was in SE Asia..I didn't know them and had done nothing to them. Got to the point that we called for the police before going into the area. Sometimes they even showed up. Guess they were busy!
