The Knife hand! Does the knife hand need to go?

Granted, it's the military and not the civilian world, but are we so sensitive now that our feelings have to dictate how others use hand gestures? Will your feelings matter when someone is pointing a gun or a real knife at you? I don't think so.

Why would it possibly need to go? Would it be better to simply point at someone? Do fingers being pointed at you physically injure you? If it’s simply a matter of your feelings then suck it up and drive on, your feelings are yours and not anyone else’s concern or issue.

Think about it this way... you point your finger at someone to correct an issue. You have 3 fingers pointing back at you. See the problem?!! With the knife hand, all fingers are pointing at the problem!! Plus you can use your knife hand as a weapon!! Also, Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Get rid of the knife hand? (I just fell out of my chair). Are we going to start to deploy our troops with pens and paper rather then guns and bullets? Is this a mall security company or something? Next thing the troops will be running around in pink camo.

Nothing better then some good ole fashioned communication down into the soldiers soul and for that, welcome the knife hand. No cussing, no smoking, no pointing, or you can offend a soldier? Will our enemy take this into consideration? Do not continue to restrict our leaders with what little tools are left in our rucksack.

If it goes how am I supposed to tell my 4 year old where things are...or correct him on anything?

No

Nobody pulls a knife on me.I have a small blade in my pocket

You've been knife handed from your sarcastic behavior? That's some epic level sarcastic behavior you have there!

Sounds like your attitude needs to go. Do 13 weeks at Parris Island and find out a wus worries about a knife hand...……………….

What do you replace it with ... a knife in the hand?
