Force on Force Question
Mr. Pincus, thank you for your participation on the forum and in this thread. It greatly adds to the "teaching" benefit of the show to be able to ask questions of the teacher about what we have learned.
On another topic, you discussed in several posts your concerns regarding the benefits to be derived from the way most FOF training was conducted. In one of the many classes I have taken over the last year, (since my awakening) one of my instructors suggested two benefits you did not discuss. The first one mentioned was overcoming the emotional resistance that most of us have to pulling the trigger while aiming at another human being.
The second benefit involved giving the student a reality check on performance expectations during a SD event. He felt that getting stung by pellets induced the student to move to take cover and most importantly, degraded his performance in returning fire and ability to hit a target. He felt this reality check was an important part of developing a proper SD mindset.
I can't recall with certainty who the instructor was but it could have been Col. Grossman. I would appreciate your take on these perspectives.
