Time to Say It Again?

Quoted once previously, but the comments around one incident seem to indicate that a new quoting is needed.

When you send a man out with a gun, you create a policymaker. When his ass is on the line, he will do whatever he needs to do.

And if the implications of that bothers you, the time to do something about it is before you decide to send him out.
