My stock position is that anyone who serves has my utmost admiration. You wouldn't wish combat on anyone. Family and friends have all served. Among my Great Uncles were a Lancaster bomb aimers, an infantryman who was among the first into some of the 'camps' and they weren't happy times. I truly hope we will never have to galvanise like they had to back then.

Sadly I think we would need conscription. for all the flag waving & screaming we want our country back none would be willing to die for family, country & freedom unlike the heroes of World War I & World War II

It sounded from the BBC article that the father that shot the killer was instantly traumatised by what HE had done, let alone what he was witnessing. Yes, he's getting the 'hero' fanfare but I'm guessing he needs something more than pats on the back. Hopefully he can reconcile that he saved lives, kids lives and his daughters lives. Although the 'man' he killed was really just a kid...

Would be interesting as to why he owned a pistol beforehand then. Was it for protection? Then it worked. And absolutely no doubt he could feel differently now actually having to use it, but it's just another interesting (for lack of a better word) element to the 'good guy with a gun' theory much of the States have convinced is the answer to their insane gun problem.

Yeah, their gun ownership laws are definitely part of the solution. Or maybe: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country
