The US military has become so pussified that the normal response is not to run towards gunfire but to cower from it. I am disgusted...
Ok... you go right on ahead and rush a gun wielding attacker while you're unarmed... let's just see how that works out. Where should I send the flowers? Not everyone is Batman, able to dodge bullets and beat bad guys to a pulp.
