True, but nobody knows what you're good at until you try. You'd be surprised by people and what they're capable of. Some of the best soldiers I saw in the army were gangly dorky looking dudes that had never fired a shot before training. In fact, those guys are easier to train than "good ol boys" because they haven't picked up any bad shooting habits.
Trained by whom?
Your premise was that this violence was unorganized.
My point wasn't so much for the training but how easily they picked up on it.
If you want a better example, I was at a bar in Lawton ok, home of ft sill. At a bar one night I saw a fight happen where 2 civilians took on 5 military personnel out of uniform. (Dunno what units or rank or anything) The civilians did wind up getting the shit kicked out of em but 2 of the military guys got really fucked up, one looked like rocky after the first movie, the other was unconscious on the ground. If you think about it in a life or death situation, yeah the 2 guys would be dead, but so would 2 of theirs. That means the next 2 guys who come up against this crew (now consisting of only 3 guys), have much better odds. It's not thousands of little fights, it's one continuous fight.
