Some people are imbecilic beyond words. In the case of voluntary human shields, they should realize that they have made themselves combatants and understand the possible consequences and must take responsibility for their own choice. Secondly, in the case of involuntary human shields, we should never respect an enemy's decision to make the safety of innocents hostage and we cannot ignore the greater threat such people present to others.

That's hard to say which one will be caught "in country" when the bombs fall. Note how the guy interviewed is only staying 2 days, ...gggg, ...that's real guts for you.

Hmm, ...I didn't see them handing out a consolation prize framed "I was a human shield" certificate on the training video.

I'll have to take a closer look.

However, if you take a closer look at the end of the training video, ...they do offer a taxidermist for mounting your head as a tribute.
