Bullshit Bravado

Tom Cotton sent for his gun, I cry bullshit. Even worse if he did actually do it. Just what we need, an untrained asshole with no knowledge of the rules of engagement. Thank god he did not kill anyone or get anyone else killed.

However, he is not untrained. He served four years on active duty, rising to the rank of captain. He has the bronze star, and the CIB.

And rules of engagement and use of force are like saying a dentist could do a hip replacement. I am sure he can shoot a gun, but does not have the training to do it under the circumstances of the day.
