I would shoot the child, I hold my life more important than somebody I did not know. I am only 20, not exactly some old 60 plus guy. If I was old, I'd happily die for the child to go away from that situation.

LOL! So cos your 20 you'd kill the kid, but if you we're 60 you'd let him kill you?
I wouldn't care if I we're 60, I'd still let him have it. You probably would too.

It's easy to say what we would or wouldn't do, but we can never truely know what we would do until we are in that situation.

I've been in a couple of 'hair raising' incidents, (happily not killed anyone though

) and lets say the old survival instinct kicks in big time!
The only thing on your mind is self preservation, and you do your utmost to survive.
I just find it strange that someone thinks that just cos they're 20 they would kill the kid, but would be happy to die at the age of 60! :confused:

No dude, you gotta shoot him in the leg

If anyone is pointing a gun at me, with the intent to fire.. be they Man/Woman/Child I will take action to make sure that I live.

If that means droping them with 2 in the chest, then that is whats going to happen.

Anyone who says otherwise is a liar or stupid.

The british forces are known as a peace keeping organisation who are ordered by their own government to go to war for another government, we are forced to go in peace and come back peacefully but if we are provoked or threatened we are able to stand up for ourselves and protect each other.

So in other words, if the damn kid aimed a gun at the army, he WOULD be shot, wouldnt be a good thing, but he posed a threat by aiming a gun towards the soldiers.

Invading another country is peaceful :confused:

Don't think a kid would really care about politics...

James07 · 24 Dec 2006 at 23:16

We didnt invade them as such, we joined another forces enterance for peace, we took over there government to protect their own country, not an invasion as such, we dont want to keep them.

Wasnt the politics i was wanting to get across, If you aim a gun at a soldier he has a right to shoot you, or thats what army careers told me last week.

Yeah, I completely disagree about the invasion but hey

I understand about shooting the boy, but don't think it's as easy as some people make it to be.

In that situation it would be the kid and not me.

On another note, this thread bought back memories of a thread which i read on a forums many moons ago based on this toppic...

"how many 5 year olds (theoretically) could you fight off at the same time single handidly"

It was a random topic, no idea why it sprung into my mind then

Which forum was that on? I remember reading a similar thing, but I thought it was on this forum...

A 5 year old American kid on holiday somehow gets caught up in a terrorist attack. Terrorists are everywhere, screaming dhurka dhurka. Kid picks up a gun from a fallen police officer and points it at the terrorist...

BOOM!

The terrorist is quicker...the kid gets both barrels of a sawn off shotgun...

How many people would think that the terrorist was evil and twisted, shooting a sweet little child....

You were totally right in your answer, this is why some people are cut out for military life and some aren't.

I hope if it ever happens you don't flinch.
