“If some guy comes running out of a hut in Iraq and attacks you, these techniques can save your life,” he told a group of soldiers practicing unarmed combat recently. “Because of the political realm we are operating in, it is not good to go in and kill everybody. We don’t want to end up on Al-Jazeera as baby killers because we had a 13-year-old kid come at us and we shot him instead of taking him out [using unarmed-combat skills].
“In Iraq now, where you have angry crowds with weapons, it is not like you can turn a [machine gun] loose on them. This is the stuff to subdue people with nonlethal force.”
LMAO! Me thinks that Sgt. 1st Class Cliff Owens has swallowed the PC poison pill.
