But wasn't the question about a friend who had breast cancer?

Surely you know some women with boobs?

I think all males will turn out to be "realists".  it was a chick test;  BEG fooled us into taking it. :-)

most all of them, in fact. :uhsure:

but I suspect a male reaction would be very different.  we tend to protect/defend.  y'all tend to want to share the pain.

Well, the CPR one, for example.  You have to think and work quickly in taking care of the patient if they are, for example, going into cardiac arrest.  When I was taking my CPR certification course, there were several specific steps you had to take in properly administering the procedure from start to finish.    It is much like Captain Sullenberger who is considered a "Thinker" according to that quiz.   He acted quickly, using his knowledge and experience to land that plane the way he did.
 
Although, CPR guidelines keep changing from year to year, it seems like.  I'll be going back shortly to get re-certified (certification lasts for 2 years and my time is coming this summer) and learn the new techniques.

there is actually a twist to the whole thing.  personally, I think that any country that pushes it's women into battle out of anything short of desperation probably isn't worth fighting for in the first place.

but that is off topic.

Analyzing takes valuable time away from FIGHTING.  Save it for searching the opponent's pockets AFTER you've torn it's throat out with your teeth and left it gasping out it's dying breath in the mud beneath your boot.

You'd be amazed what you learn about an opponent in the first moments of an engagement.  Well, you - personally - wouldn't, probably; but the proverbial "you" might.

The learning curve is steep, but the rewards make the temptation awfully strong.
