You know that only a small percentage of the military is fighters, right?

It's almost entirely logistics and support groups - clerks and middle management types.

Sure, they all went though boot camp, and were trained how to properly use a gun or few types of guns. The vast majority of them will never see "front line" action. They will never be put in a position to kill or be killed.


Frankly, IMO, every human should be trained in self-defense including how to kill another human before they kill you, should that be their goal.
