To Fail is to Die (Full Episode) | Doomsday Preppers

I’m a combat veteran of the Navy and Army and I can tell you from experience that no amount of prepping can train you to kill another human being, no matter how much weapons training you have.

[@DianeHasHopeInChrist]

Kill or be killed , don't have to enjoy but certainly want to protect your own and means to survive .

[@mikem.6340]

@@DianeHasHopeInChrist Thank you very much for your support!! I’ve lost good friends and I’ve taken others’ lives which I’m not proud of but you become desensitized to what you’re doing after shooting nonstop, so that’s what it’ll take if those times arrive and hopefully it won’t.

[@SirMarshalHaig]

Didn´t the training with human shaped targets get introduced because most people won´t shoot someone else in a war? I remember something about 50% of the kills coming from 2% of the soldiers before in WW1 they trained the soldiers to shoot at humans, not targets.

[@mikem.6340]

@@SirMarshalHaig Yes, there are half body metal silhouettes that are distance and timed for marksmen qualification and full size human dummies in cqc training buildings but that’s as far as the military goes to train in a safe environment without having training casualties. When you hear rounds whizzing by your head, your fight or flight response kicks in and your adrenaline takes over the fear.If you ask someone who has been in combat, they will tell you that the sound of a round resembles that of a huge bee flying by your head. The majority of the time you can never see a weapon being fired at you in Afghanistan because of the terrain’s mountainous region. I hope that answers your question. The only difference is all elite units use “live” rounds when training for combat ops.

People in the US have suffered through tornadoes, wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and just this week, train wrecks causing massive chemical spills. You should be prepared.
