thank you

No, but I normally don't post unless it's funny or political

@glennlab It's okay. You're allowed. Promise!

Really depends on the situation! I remember the theme song for 'Swamp Fox' back years ago. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. &, so you know, I'm a vet, tho not a combat vet. Just too young for 'Nam. So, Figure Everything And React-accordingly is another meaning!

@phxbillcee Vietnam vet here, when under fire, you just do what you were trained to do. Once it's over, then you can break down.

@glennlab Granted, but sometimes that order is a "strategic withdrawal", for example. My point is, even or maybe most especially from an individual standpoint, rushing headlong is not always one's best option! As a short guy, I had to learn this the hard way because I refused to be bullied or intimidated, so I met many situations 'face first'!!! Now, forgetting everything & running, as the Iraqi army did vs ISIS is both stupid & dangerous. & sometimes standing, even when the odds are against one is still the only thing one can do. But, to say there are only two choices is disingenuous, at best!

@phxbillcee I think we are in agreement.
