Some of you have heard of LCOL Grossman. Most of those that have heard of him are probably only familiar with his "Sheepdog" essay. There is a great deal more to what this man can teach all warriors (and has, to include spec ops, deploying Rangers and Marines). His "lecture" was a 4 hour training event. It ranged from psychologically surviving combat, the physiology of stress, the warrior spirit, violence in schools (a persuasive argument that the Belsan, Russia school massacre was a dress rehearsal for a similar attack in the U.S.), the kill enabling process,violent visual imagery (shocking evidence of the neurological damage done to our youth from excessive viewing and playing of violent video games) and much more. He trains thousands of military personnel a year, as well as law enforcement agencies, and other governmental organizations. I was well aware of LCOL Grossman's vitae before attending this lecture and I was still blown away. This guy puts on a terrific program. He is a dynamic speaker, humorous, respectful and dramatic. His closing minutes speaking of a cop killed in the WTC, and Saving Private Ryan had a room full of warriors (mostly cops) riveted and some in tears. If you ever get to see LCOL Grossman speak, make every effort to do so. You can order his books On Killing, Pulitzer prize nominated and on the USMC read list, and the new On Combat from his web site. I highly recommend both.
