Another excellent blog on the idea of priority and the difference, if I may say so, between the mentality of sport and a real attempt to be in the mindset where the weapons are deadly and you have only one ‘life’ and not three ‘hits’.

Too much focus has and is placed on the idea of attacking… as opposed to the notion of… not loosing not dying… whether on the ancient battlefield or modern.. I recently read an interview with an lied tanker from wwii.. the interviewer asked about his thought on how crews felt about knocking out German tanks… the tanker saI’d they were far more concerned about not getting killed by the Germans..
