We're on an Apollo 13 mission: Gen Kranz the Flight Director at the time said,"When bad things happen, we just calmly laid out all the options and failure was not one of them". Tough and competent, "we are forever accountable for what we do or fail to do. We will never take anything for granted. We will never fall short of our knowledge or our skills".

Scare Easy
What separates a brave man from one that scares easy? In your mind, you can picture the soldier storming a hill where a machine gun nest is placed. Bullets are literally peppering the ground around him but he just keeps charging up the hillside and throws a grenade through the concrete slot of the bunker, the machine gun is now silent. He himself can't even believe that he made it to the top but his rage was so focused on that pillbox and his fellow soldiers that were ground up from that machine gun. A force where time stood still for him to maneuver to complete a mission of impossible odds and ends up in our history books.
True, too, is the reversal of a brave soul as to being scared, at this point you're thinking too much and the outcome is going to hold you as if you're frozen! A brave soul is the will of your heart, the scared soul is the will of an outside force that threatens to hold you at bay and your only chance is to worry or be scared. This tactic has rung throughout our human history, just look at the Vikings, a force that villages feared when seen on the horizon heading for shore, they were scared because of the lack of not being prepared. If you simply engineer a defensive tactic which will give you confidence when all odds are against you.
Today in our society is no different tactic than what the Vikings represented a long time ago. It's unfortunate that the spin doctors that sit in the high chair of the kitchen where all this drama is cooked up to create a boogeyman like ISIS which came from a stew of 9/11. Now we have the Vegas shooting but like most tactics to build fear into the public, we notice too many inconsistencies with the playwright. At this point no matter the scenario of mass shootings the prime initiative is to disarm America, many heads of state and former heads of state wasted no time in portraying America needs stiffer gun laws, we didn't even have a chance to mourn or bury or dead yet! There's the true answer; the 1% fear you America and will try time and time again which makes us a feared nation, not to be confused with the man-made board of monopoly (self-interest groups and government) that can impose sanctions on other countries but your name as it appears in all capital letters created by jurisdiction over coastal waters and international law governing relationships (maritime law, early as 1063) between nations. In short, you're a human being, not a commodity and if one does not think so well mate, they live in fear of being exposed of wrongdoing and\or being stripped of the feed bag$$.
Only sellouts scare easy but a day comes where the Viking taps another on the shoulder, hey what's that hoard? spilling over the hillside! Fast forward to today, ah, that would be the tiered irate individuals of America who have lost confidence in our lawmakers and justice system a long time ago before President Trump ever showed up, this crap has been in the pipeline for 100 years.
Godspeed
