Sounds like she was mentally deranged and deeply conflicted, if the money incident is any indicator. Nobody should have to put up with that garbage, and those troops handled it very professionally.

1SG Steven Imerman - well, warrant officers are supposed to be subject matter experts, and I am the subject matter expert on me. If the woman had threatened me, I'd probably have taken my Kukkiwon card out, showed it to her, and asked her if she really wanted to mess with me.

A Kukkiwon card is given by the Kukkiwon, the headquarters of World Taekwondo in Seoul, South Korea, when you pass a black belt test. I am a 3rd degree black belt.

Having said that, this is probably the most inappropriate thing to do, which is why I admire those soldiers. They had much more control than I would have had. I greatly admire those who keep their cool when under extreme provocation like that.

1SG Steven Imerman - True, but like I said...I should not do that. I should do what those soldiers did.
