    Yes.

    I would do something, not sit around worrying about my own arse while children are being killed.

      And then you get shot. Worst case scenario, you don’t die, but instead scream out in agony in the crossfire, getting 3 or 4 other guys in trouble as they come in to drag your ass away from the firing zone.

      Firefights suck. And shitty people thinking they’d be heroes in this situation only make it worse for everyone.

      OK, so explain. What would you do? “Something” isnt a plan, talk strategy. You have a gun that can shoot 1 bullet per second, can’t go through the armor that the enemy is wearing, and you can hold about 8 bullets in your gun. The enemy has a gun that goes through your armor and the walls like they are butter, shoots 10 bullets per second, and holds 4x as many bullets as you do. There are kids all around, the walls may slow down your bullets, but not the enemies. Do you wait for bigger guns or do you go in there with terrible chances and high probability of getting even more kids killed?

      I generally don’t like cops, but if they charged in there on a suicide mission and got even more kids killed, then people would just be complaining about how stupid and shortsighted they were.
