Also well said. Several good friends of mine on active duty have said that two of the main requirements of their job were to be willing to kill and to be willing to die. That is a Commitment that most of us cannot or will not make for anyone outside our immediate family.Being willing to die is one of the only legitimate super powers that we can obtain. It allows us to do things normal people can't.
You see, wanting to live is normal. Regardless if you surrender or fight to achieve it. Most people are acting because they want to live. This is the problem when shooting under the stress of a life and death attack. The mental aspect is prioritizing the fundamentals of marksmanship over living itself.
The irony is if you can do that, you stand a better chance of living.
