What would he know about the heat of battle?
Never defined it.
What's the heat of battle, Britton?
Well, no, his premise was, and fact check me for the wonks out there, the basic premise is that these allegations of illegal killings didn't occur in the heat of battle.
They weren't...
combat shootings, according to Burton.
But he didn't define what the heat of battle was.
I was just about to ask you that.
Well, great question.
I'm waiting for the lawyers to tell me.
Thanks, Sam.
And you're a practitioner, mate.
Exactly.
But they didn't ask you what the heat of battle was, did they?
They didn't ask me.
I think it's worse than that, mate.
They took a very legalistic, barren, antiseptic approach to this.
they didn't immerse themselves into the context of the human experience of going down range and killing for your country seeing trauma and violence up close and how that dehumanizes you i've i've said this what's the difference between in contact and being in combat you know all the try-hards the one one trip out the gate quick shoot them up a bit of a buzz you know in flow and and you you come out of that you can grow out of that right and you can be better and that's an appropriate way to deal with trauma and
be a better martial war fighter right and but i tell you you do that too often when you don't want to do it it's fear it's trauma it's your worst nightmare mate that's combat you don't want to do it and you're in your pants so in between there's the heat of battle right and
Exactly right.
