1. I wasn't dodging, I was ignoring. Because the idea that veterans are apt to come home and flip out is insulting.
As more and more people come home from these wars (assuming they come home and aren't sent to Iran, Syria, or Central Africa next) we're going to have to deal with the emotional trauma these wars caused. One of the results of this trauma is violence.
2.How? You are a martial artist, defend yourself as you have trained, but, be aware that an armed man will kill an unarmed one with monotonous regularity...
I actually had this conversation yesterday with a friend. He described the basics of entering a house and how fast a team can "clear" it. I honestly don't know if I'd have a chance if someone entered my house. I have accessible weapons, but I've never shot anyone. If it came down to it, I'd protect my family with my life, but the best strategy, IMO, is going to be to restrict entry somehow and flee.
