I'm keeping it real too. I don't have time to break out my slide-rule. And every decision you make as a first responder means life or death. And you got about half a heartbeat to make it. THAT is as real as rain. Whose lives do you risk? My Marines? Or noncombatants? My Marines were a team. They'd die for you. And I''m the one stuck giving the order. I damned sure ain't got no time to debate the situation.
