I completely understand what your saying, and agree with you whole heartedly. As a Marine myself, I can defintely relate to the things your friend was probably talking about. Nonetheless we have to be aware of the rules of engagement. They are not all that clear all the time. This is why in my mind I set up boundary lines and run thru TDG's. Which is what this whole topic is about.TDG's are about 2nd guessing your own policy of what youTHINK you would do in an emergency. Checking it for gaps sorta.If a BG breaksmy boundaries then he'll endure the consequences of his actions. Every scenario is different too. Having an Iron Clad, stone cold approach to eery situation no matter who/what is involved is not always the best thing. It's rarely possible anyway. Anyone with kids can understand this even better. Each kid is different, and not all kids at all ages respond to discipline the same way.
I think the whole reason for this old saying is b/c people were constantly getting involved i altercations in their yards. then retreating to their houses for a weapon, and finishing the altercation. The LE perspective was, they should have retreated to the house, stayed their and called the police. 911 Didin't exist then. At least not for all states.
On another note, and personaly I've been thru quite a bit lately with my kids, mywife, the DoD and the VA.From the toll it's taken on my marriage, I can assure you guys that I've probably been WAY more than an anal retentive dick head on here too. For that I am sorry. I noticed it when on three different fronts people were writing negative post about my attitude. That's when I realized that my mood had made it into my daily interactions with people, not just at home. So to those I've pissed off, pissed on, or just all around offended, I AM SORRY.
Now let's argue about something :banghead::lol:
