I will try an exercise here. In Israel, we have what is called "G'bbush." It is [usually] a 3 dat vetting process for elite units in our military. The first day is intellectual assesment, the second physical, and the third is the most interesting....psycho-social exercises. The exercises are of the ilk where you cannot possibly simply have a right or wrong answer or reaction. For example.....I will pose one that I was forced to deal with when I was a teen and I was vetted for a paticular training assignment.
Say you are ordered to enter a camp, erect a permieter, and then take down a house. Entering the house, you clear it as trained, hearding males into one room, females into another, and then do a thorough search of premises for escape routs and contraband, as well as hiding individuals.
What would you do, if you were tasked with clearing the second fllor, and as you enter the kitchen [kitchens in our part of the world are oftebn on the second floor] you seea 3 year old smiling girl, barefoot and dirty, with her finger on the pin of a grenade about to pull it. What do you do?
Please imagine you are in the exercise and imagine it is real, cause we happen to deal with situations like this more than you think.
If you do nothing, she will pull the pin, not only killing herself but killing all your platoon mates as well. If you shoot, you will kill an inncoent 3 year old girl, fa ce an inquest, perhaps criminal charges under the worst scenario, and with a doubt a roasting by know it all foreigners in the press,etc. [sound familiar].
What do you do? Please answer.
