I'm definitely going to see this movie, but a couple of things stood out in the trailers for me.
The first.
"Never shoot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet."Quite honestly that made me pause. I'm a 9mm fanboy to the core. I believe its the ideal sized round for most applications...but that quote sung to me. I don't know if thats a real quote said in the Teams or not, but if it is then good on them.
The second thing that caught me was when one of the SEALs asked another if he could fight. The second SEAL said that he was shot and Wahlberg replied "we're all shot, can you fight?".
That simple quote made me sit straight up, swallow hard and think. How many of us even consider fighting under duress. By duress I mean injury. I don't follow MMA as much as I used to because I'm definitely NOT liking some of the moves being made by management, but I did hear the news about Silva kicking a guy so hard that he broke his leg.
On the street the fight would continue. The aggressor would simply take advantage of that infirmity and pound the other guy into serious injury or death. I don't have the answer on this one but its something to consider. Continuing the fight after you've been shot, stabbed, had your nose broken...whatever. I've never had to do it. MMA fighters do it on a limited basis, but in a deadly force encounter I don't even see Professional Law Enforcement (I'm talking about the guys that are good solid pro cops) training for such a scenario.
Research continues and when I get it I'll pass it along.
