Student Soldiers protecting other student soldiers?

As more boys and girls who decide to defend their class mates attack shooters in schools, for me, it is a return to how we were trained to be in the 1950s. As a child growing up then I was expected to become a soldier and either die in battle defending my country or be nuked to death. This was what I expected was my future starting at age 4 in 1952 because of the Cold War.

So, it isn't surprising that Student Soldiers are saving their friends by attacking the insane people trying to shoot them. So, some students likely will continue to sacrifice their lives to protect their friends and teachers. And likely some teachers will also do this ongoing on into the future.

This is kind of how I was always taught to think to protect the women and children and teachers. So, from the time I was a small boy I was taught to sacrifice my life to protect my mother and family. My father held the same role as I then. Now as the world has changed I think you are going to see more boys and girls sacrifice their lives rather than to be shot by insane shooters in the future. They will do this to protect their friends and teachers from dying. If you look back into history it has always been this way for thousands of years. Children and adults have often sacrificed their lives so their friends and family could live on.

So, possibly having a baseball bat as a weapon in a classroom or teachers armed and trained how to use firearms might save the lives of some students and teachers in the future all over the U.S. and the world.

Why?

Because when a shooter arrives in any room full of people you might have about 10 to 20 seconds before about 30 people are dead or wounded from any automatic weapon whether it is a pistol or a rifle of any caliber. If you wait for the police 20 or more people will already be dead. This is just the reality of the situation folks. Once bullets start flying some people are going to get shot unless someone does something to stop it right then. But, if you stop it you have a 50-50 chance of dying too so this is important to remember also.
