It is good to be reminded that a cool head and some basic marksmanship skills are the best way to put the brakes on a madman with a gun.

It is also interesting to note that in this case, in the Navy Yard case, in Hasan's case, and lord knows how many others, if folks would have paid some attention to the obvious signs that were right in front of them, it never would have went as far as it did.

Brown felt he wasn't treated well after the shooting, which if true and I have no reason to think it wasn't, is a shame. The entire attitude toward mental health treatment in the DOD needs to be altered in a more effective direction in fact. Let's pray that it does. The differences between Brown's shooting and many others for Air Force Security Forces were the high profile nature, the uncovering of Air Force failures (this is big, they hate that and will come after you), and the non traditional combat nature of the incident. It is very nice to see he has moved on, has a good career, and has done something positive for the victims of the shootings.

Here is a big salute to Andrew Brown
