as it pertains to this topic.............
On this subject the information as you have protrayed it in my opinion is dishonest,while at first it apeared that you just didnt understand what was said in the article if your intention is to state that the intruder is a hunter( the intuder remains in the same scense as the entry team except he is a hunter with no idea where he is, what is behind what, and where the hunted is), its still apples to oranges. Mout training has evolved in the last 25 years.
I maintain that he ensconced individual is the HUNTED and remains the HUNTED with the advantage. Being that the home is prepared the entire home remains the position of advantage for the pourpose of the BITN scenario.
What you did was apply two different paradigm's to try and make it apear that only a trained team will be succesful in repelling an invaider. THe information your provided was not intellectually honest as a application to the BITN. you know it wasnt. The attempt at portraying Mas Ayoob as agreeing with you, when in fact what was portrayed was an EXCERPT from an article written by "an employee". that is intellectually dishonest as well.
I called your sources, I called your information. I never called you a liar, I was clear in that. I would not want this put back into mainstream either if Iwas unwilling to see hard fact put before me just to be right.
I have hard fact to back up my claimes, experience and training. I have folks in the business willing to join and post, that what your saying is incorrect and potentially dangerous. They will state as I have that the police most often will not be able to get there in time nor will they enter imediatly. You are taking the lives of your family in your hands if you think you will be able to gather them safely without potentially engageing the threat. Your not taking into account that a prepared home will already know the location of the bad guy, by means of the dog, set up of the home and lighting. Most prepared homes will know the intuders is on the property before they enter. I maintain that while in the home the Homeowner does not become the "hunter" by virtue of him leaving a room, I maintain the he is the hunted all through the encounter and remains with the advantage. In MOUT, we do not always stay in one room, one closet, we often move as the threats move (threats being the team). Having the layout, floorplans and furnishings is the advantage, not only hiding in a closet.
IF you still think that the posts I have made are persionial attacks, then you should absolutly STOP giving tactical, life altering information over the internet and not be prepared for others with the training and experience to disagree with you and point out the truth and facts. IF your thin skined to the point of needing sheilding from the public(who will ultimately judge the merits of a discussion over the internet) then so be it.
Try this..
Explain the need for a tactical entry team, explain the need for MOUT training, then explain who the tac team is going after and who the MOUT training is to use against. WhY DO WE NEED THEM?
Finally try and conclude that the "Bad guy"(as defined as the person the tac team and MOUT trained team is seeking) and the Homeowner are the SAME. IF the HO/BG did not have such an overwhelming advantage there would be no need for MOUT, SRT,SWAT and anything other than a trained single cop serving warrants.
There has been MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars and many more millions of man hours in training and research, to justify the position I hold.
The homeowner in the BITN case HAS THE CARDS IN HIS HANDs the Bad Guy is tempting his fate and is probably going to die, if the HO has done his job.
I am curious, what school do you teach at (no need to be specific)? What orginization are you affiliated with, ie, S.O., LEO, Military? What training have you recieved that qualifies you to instruct and offer recomendations.
