If it came down to it, then yes I'd shoot the kid as I don't want to die myself.

It'd be nice to think that you could perhaps just injure the kid, but he'd probably be back again when he's healed to shoot more of you.

I would never think *omfg child lets make him bleeeeeeeeeeeeed* but i agree with you, he may have been brought up to kill, or he may not have, eitherway if i feel threaten i do what i can to get rid of that feeling.

Nice aim :eek:
 
Possibly, i have not been through training yet thus i am not sure what happens in this situation, my current feelings are before/during the warning what is to stop him not shooting?

However thinking about it, arnt we/you the threat? I mean if you think about it were the ones who invade peoples countries and run about with guns?

In away i think you are right if we went there then we are the threat, but then that is what i have signed up to do, so then they are the threat for me?

Okay a new question, a child runs at your a bubble-making gun - it doesn't seem like a threat on the surface but if the detergent laden bubbles get in your eyes you will be blind for at least 30 seconds, at which point you are at the mercy of him AND his friends...

What do you do?

Good question, in this state(alcomahol) im not sure, for all i know it could be a gun, therefore i would feel threatening = shoot. But then its a kid playing with a bubble machine = harmless.

In this environment of asymmetric warfare the question you've stated is a very real dilemma. Is the kid running towards you with the gun because he wants to shoot you, or has he found it and he's running towards you to hand it in as he's afraid? Is it loaded? And if you can't tell whether or not it's loaded will you get charged with murder if it isn't and you do shoot him?

All are questions that will no doubt run through the minds of servicemen engaged on counter insurgency operations around the world, and something you should definitely bear in mind if you plan on joining the forces.

Hey mate hows it going?

With you going through your officer training, what would you do in this situation, honestly?
