Our soldiers go to work when called - foreign or domestic. On the plane ride there, some of the passengers agreed on a plan for attacking any would-be hijackers. People brought blankets (to protect from knives) and flashlights (for impact weapons). The lady next to me asked, "So, are you with me? If it comes to it, will you help me?" I never would have even dreamed of such a conversation and there I was having it! Unbelievable.
