I've known and talked to many 'nam vets including 3 uncles. What he describes covers none of them. The people in the woods shooting at you are not cheerleaders on the way to a movie... you do what you have to do to protect yourself and the others around you. When people are trying to kill you those normal barriers fall. If everyone were as the writer described, noone would reenlist. I worked with a guy who re-upped two times... recon... People have "different" skills.
It's not for everyone. Look at the pilots who volunteer to carry in the cockpits...using his arguements I would guess he is opposed to that as well. They are all volunteer, have EXTENSIVE background checks and training compared to a CHL. Any teacher carry program would/should include extra requirements as well.
