Mike, I always said that if I went to war, I'd have a pistol and rifle - of course when I went to Iraq in 2010 - I was the only police trainer contractor who was NOT issued a weapon. We did numerous missions adjacent to the Iranian border. I always made sure the soldiers I was with, KNEW that I used to be an enlisted MP and they always told me if things got hot, to stick my hand out and I'd have a M9 or M4 handed to me
