[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2060417, member: 1132"] How about we analyze the back story and how we got to where Yeager is today before we fully judge him? I'm not a Yeager fan by any means. I think he's prone to poor judgement. However, this is a beast of our own making. Yeager was a small town local cop. The U.S. invaded Iraq and created overnight, an entire cottage industry of highly paid private security that were in essence, contract military personnel. With stop-gap in place, there's a literal vacuum of qualified candidates. Lots of guys just like Yeager were drawn to the money and signed up. Lots of them were wholly unqualified for the missions they accepted. So now Yeager's in the middle of Iraq, working for an at best, mediocre company to provide security in what is really an active war zone. His team gets ambushed after some poor decisions by the team lead. Yeager is out of his element and makes some mistakes. Mistakes that could've easily been made by anyone in his shoes. He lives, some of his team dies. He's left trying to make a palatable meal out of a **** sandwich. He doesn't tow the company line and that puts him at odds with literally everyone. He comes back stateside and tries to continue on like he's actually done something. Lots of people are calling him a coward behind his back and on the internet. It gets to the point he throws down the gauntlet on the internet, inviting his detractors to come fight him. His name is already mud and his students are finding out that they're not getting jobs if they list him as their trainer. The pressure is on. In a long line of bad decisions, he's upset that his continued livelihood is at stake with the new legislation and he takes it one step too far. Now he's the posterboy for why we shouldn't have guns. They say pride goes before a fall and I'd say his has been wrecked completely. I doubt any of us would like being in his shoes. I think he's completely out of his depth as a trainer. His decision making skills are poor, but he wouldn't even be where he is today if our collective decision making skills as a country weren't flawed as well. He also signed his name, agreeing to the terms of his CCW permit. If one of the conditions of his permit was possible revocation for making public threats, then so be it. All of us who've signed for an SDA permit are subject to the terms of issuance here as well. Let's hope we'd all have the good sense to not pull a Yeager and risk having our permits pulled, even for a review. JMO, YMMV [/QUOTE]
