I always think of the scene where the Translator/Clerk freeze during combat and stands frozen in fear on the stairs while a fellow solider fights for his life and loose it. The thought of condemning him for his cowardice flack in my thoughs, but it was quickly replaced with the thought would I do better? I hope and pray that I would, but I will not know until I face the test.

Amen. I see people post messages that they just need to summon their inner Chuck Norris and confront a combat situation with a cool head and kick ass attitude. Real life ain't like that. We have all seen a miniature poodle fight to the death against an intruder while a 200lb mastiff will coear in fear. We can all 'hope' we do what needs to be done to protect ourselves and our families. We don't know what happens until that situation comes up. Just like any soldier in combat. What we can all do is keep our souls saved and say our prayers.

Actually, I’ve never seen that.
