“A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution ten minutes later.”

When asked how he was able to control the situation, the customer reportedly told deputies, 'The Marine Corps taught me not to [mess] around.

See a mariner act immediately when confronted with a robber and disarm his gun in second…
But you will see that action was risky…the robber pulled back and I think these robbers were rookies.

-» A LITTLE ANALYSIS:

Think with me…

I know as a former red-beret that fast-thinking, decision-making, and action = are important. This is instead of making the perfect analytical decision --> which = difficult in a fast-escalating situation.

Unfortunately, most situations Marines encounter do not allow for any analysis at all. While the analytical approach has its strengths, it also has its weaknesses.

A soldier doesn’t want to fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”.

The problem for Marines is that analytical decision-making is neither practical nor useful in the high-stress situations encountered while on patrol: whether to shoot or not in a matter of milliseconds. A mariner = trained to deal with chaos.

Furthermore, even deliberate decision-making is not purely analytical in every way; it often uses intuition and heuristics.

“What matters most for a soldier is not generating the best possible plan but achieving the best possible result, good enough solutions quickly, then aggressively carrying out those solutions. The goal is to act violently and quickly to drive the tempo of battle and cause the enemy to react.”

That is what you saw the mariner doing in this situation, just as he is trained.

-» SIDE NOTE:
In the original news article, the following was stated:
" The customer (right) quickly pulled out his left arm to disarm the robbery suspect
The suspect dressed in black (left) didn't react quickly enough to the customer's combat technique, which he learned while serving in the Marines."

This is of course not a completely legit combat technique…this is quick decision-making, overwhelming the enemy and adapting certain technical elements to the situation. That's something different.

Just to point out the nonsense new article can produce by talking about things they don't understand.
