Okay but we aren't training solders here, they took teachers, told them to kneel against the wall, and shot them in the back repeatedly without telling them what was about to happen.
These are elementary schoolteachers - they're job is to educate (and half baby-sit) children.
I'm not making any statement with training, I'm just saying the method here is inappropriate.
EDIT: Plus how is this training? Are they expected to "fight back"? Okay cool a pellet gun hurts - what's the point? A gun hurts more anyway - if it doesn't kill you.

- penagwin 8y agoDoes it? According to the US Naval Postgraduate School, 56 people died in school shootings during 2018 (includes shooter). While this is terrible, I'm not sure this counts as a "battlefield"? According to the CDC, over 3x more children died from the flu (185)!

EDIT: Yes during a shooting your environment does resemble a battlefield. Shootings are not common however (see above statistic) so I feel resources may be more valuable elsewhere.
