4. NOT untrained. Underestimating the enemy is how you end up snuffed.

These guys are not untrained. They got a gun before their first tooth. They killed their first animal in grade school. They trained with the young men's militia at their churches, they joined ROTC in HS, were probably Eagle Scouts and joined the military fresh out of high school. By the time they are back some man in their family or church will have a nice job lined up for them and one of their aunties will have picked out a wife.
Guess how I know? Because in my family, generations of OK Democrats, that's how the boys were raised.
No different from the GOP boys down the road and not much different from girls.

I'm a girl, I could shoot and dress a rabbit by the time I was 8-9. At 16 I was proficient in pistol, rifle, shotgun, black powder, bow and cross bow and
had a deer and turkey in the freezer. Every male served, 2 aunts retired from the military.
