30 Days of Generals and Admirals – Day 26

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.  — James Mattis

My Take – Always have a “go to hell” plan.  This is your plan for what you will do if the sky falls on you.  It might be your families plan on where to meet if you have to get out of the house in a fire, or where you and your spouse will meet if going home isn’t an option at the end of the day.  It might even be your planned escape routes from your workplace in the event that some nutjob starts using your office as a personal shooting range.  But have that plan, and keep it to yourself.  No sense in looking like a paranoid because you take the time to think about that which others refuse to consider.

    I think it is simply recognizing that most people are capable of being a danger to you; so plan accordingly. Now most people aren’t a danger to me but I’m not psychic so I can’t tell who is or isn’t.

    Look at how many times people have stood unmoving in front of a rampage killer because “I couldn’t believe (s)he would do something like that”.
