I don't get this mentality...

Just because someone hasn't actually been in live combat they can't understand basic military strategy? I mean you guys do know you go to school before becoming an officer right? People are literally certified in battlefield tactics without having ever been shot at or shot at a single person. Does reading Sun Tzu mean nothing simply because I've personally never shot someone?

I go to the range often, play paintball and airsoft both CQB and Field, study military tactics at an enthusiast level, and have buddies who have/ currently serve. Do I have firsthand experience in fighting terrorists? No. But I have spent years talking to people who have, as well as playing alongside them doing the next closest thing.

If you still want to cling to your contrarian argument maybe the only person here claiming to actually have credibility's open will sway you "These police or whatever clearly lack training just look at their stack; more people then could fit in the building."

Like honestly, if you continue defending cowardice/poor training of supposedly elite soldiers after all the evidence pointing to the contrary then maybe you should watch some smoother raids done by SAS, Spetznz, etc.
