[Husker] What about McQuery?

[Paul Dalen]

Andrew, I appreciate your moral outrage.  I share it.

However, my experience with Soldiers in extraordinary circumstances
(combat, not child molestation) has taught me that people often don't do
what one would expect them to do, particularly when the one doing the
expecting isn't subject to the stress or trauma of the situation itself.

This is why the Army puts such an emphasis on rote training.  It's only
because Soldiers have thought about and exercised each scenario many times
that they are able to reliably respond to combat effectively.  There's a
lot of truth to the idea that thinking is dangerous in a combat situation.
 I want my Soldiers to respond instinctively in the way they've been
trained.

No one trained McQueary.  For that reason I'm willing to extend him grace.
