Unfortunately, there was a great deal more to it than even that.
Also, this time fortunately, given the mission a lot of our guys are facing (in which bad guys are either shot during battles of apprehended and processed), the hands on restrain and control types of tactics seem to be working. I still get reports from Iraq in which people are having to use MACP training on combative civilians and prisoners from time to time. I'm personally glad to see that they have some options other than a butt stroke or a couple of warning shots fired at center mass to get the locals under control when the situation arises.
