So not only were these Marines unarmed, but they're also apparently a gay couple visiting France's wine country.

ISILDUR's ERR
To be serious in GBS for once I read this over and did not see any mention of what I imagine absolutely must've happened. 500+ people on a train, and the two American military men happened to be sitting so close to the toilet that they happened to hear a magazine shoved into an AK? I will bet my big dumb gay rear end in a top hat that the attacker was all dolled up in a white dress burka thing, sandals, a greasy beard, and a head piece thing. The two Americans then profiled him, something considered to be a sin making you subhuman for being unfair these days, they then either followed the guy or at least kept a drat good eye on him - and because, and only because of their hatred for what they assumed he represented were they able to stop him before he slaughtered hundreds of people, rather than to try and attempt to stop that kind of chaos in the middle of it, which would've been impossible without an easy dozen or more fatalities even if they were a few rows back.

If the trade off is that some devout Muslims will be unfairly squinted at and watched so that 500 lives can be saved, I'm leading the movement that says stereotyping people who wear the costume and facial hair of our enemies is fair and pretty fairly cool to do.

I read that one of the Marines is in a "serious" condition. The other wounds are apparently pretty light - one guy cut his hand breaking the glass on the emergency stop button. It sounds like the Marine must have dove on the barrel of the gun or something.

well yeah, you have to profile if you're in any type of security, law enforcement, or military organization

if you don't then you aren't effective

but i really worry about people's feelings and only use baby talk

isn't the legion of honour a french thing? Its certainly not not a proper medal, like the victoria cross. Its probably like some sort of foreign colonial medal like the yanks give out for going on on an aeroplane.

Kind of hard to hide an AK even under a "white dress burka thing".

Marines were probably trained to spot "suspicious AK-shaped objects under clothes" so v:v:v
