Don't shoot the messenger. Marines are grunts of the best and worst kind. I think you probably saw that as a compliment. It seems you rely on your marine training, which is commendable, but fail to see that what the training did was bring out what was already best in you. That's what it is supposed to do. I suspect that without 'marine training' you would be basically the same person, ready to help. Kudos. Sometime, if you ever plan to travel to my area (London, Ontario), let me know. We'll compare war stories. Mine will include no backup, no reinforcements, no legal authority, but every chance of being in jail for helping someone. Fact. FYI. I wouldn't have waited for the Captain. The seats are so close, people so close together, I wouldn't have let the guy collect his thoughts, even for a second. I have the scars to prove that I act, not react. Sorry if this doesn't seem kindly, but at some point you aren't a marine any more, you are just a civilian. Most civilians know threats when they see one. No insult intended, but you write well, for a marine. Don't shoot the messenger.

That's the ticket ladies, denigrate that which you would not have the guts to do anyway. What would a woman without any training know anyway?

Sounds more like the OP is an ITG (Internet Tough Guy).

A guy who cuts his toenails with a knife doesn't seem to be a terrorist in my mind... And acctually I don't belive you when you say that you would have fought. I think you are just another wanna-be-hero, a real "hero" doesn't need to talk about his "heroric deed" because he would be modest. And I also laughed when I read "Broomflyer's" comment... we europeans always make fun of the americans who are still totally impressed when they here "september 11." Haha, damn, you want to be the american hero, don't you?!

If anyone says anything snarky to you on this then they are the idiots. You did the right thing and I would be proud of you if I was your wife.
