Why armed military veterans aren’t a solution to school shootings
MY SAY: Perhaps you are right, but keep in mind, military personnel are trained to ACT, not sit back and listen to pathetic EXCUSES. We know how to PROTECT our families & loved ones. Use us.

Your romantic view of military veterans doesn’t hold with practical experience

I too am tempted to add my name to the list of volunteers to protect our schools, but let's face facts. We were trained, and some experienced, to kill people and destroy things. That's not the function of policing or protecting which is why sending the military to quell civilian unrest is never a really good idea. Now, if we have the time and patience to be retrained, I'd consider it, but let's face facts. I'm nearing 80 (just a few months away) and, although still seriously effective with all types of weapons, handguns and long guns, I'm not only not as good as I once was, I'm not even good once as I once was...

No worries! I just turned 60 and I don't think I am the best candidate for school security officer, although until just recently I was in charge of security for a public school district. My guards were trained and ready (unarmed). The key is training. Until it's your turn, no one really knows how he/she will react in an active shooter situation. But training for it can help prepare someone. The human element is always the weakest element in any system. No matter the facility, physical security, training, etc., vigilance and awareness are required for success.

Oh I think you would be surprised at your effectiveness.
Or you could use my method which is to sit in my rocking chair sharpening knife with that expression that sends cold chills down your adversaries spine.

It is not a panacea. Therefore it is not even thinkable to be used as PART of a solution. Any solution offered must COMPLETELY fix the problem, with no other solutions or programs being implemented to bolster it.
