The Law for the Wolves 

Indeed. The sheepdog and shepherds protect the herd. This can be extended to military in general terms, but it is meant more specifically to Warriorhood philosophy and mindset. Infantry are ... different. An Infantry NCO colleague tells me of a discussion he had with an MP NCO as the Infantryman provided instruction to the MP Company during STX lane training. The MP NCO asked how the Infantry were any different when his company was training on traditional Infantry tactical missions - deliberate attack, mobile defense, ambush, reconnaissance. It was a fair question. My colleague responded, "Sure. The tasks are the same. And MPs are like mother bears. Do you want to get between a mother bear and her cub? Not smart. It will be a short but brutal death. MPs can do that! But... Infantrymen are predators. We need to eat flesh. This is not about protecting our force. Instead, it is about hunting and our genuine desire to find the enemy, close with the enemy, and destroy his life. We are predators, not protectors." As I said. Infantry are ... different.

@christopherlarsen7788 the predator mindset is probably our most challenging adjustment when entering the civilian citizenry. No one else really thinks like grunts even our other vet brothers who provided the vital tasks of maintaining the warmachine in support of us. Great video and response Doc.

Exactly. Thus the name ... One Shepherd Leadership Institute!

As soon as I master Mandarine Chinese.

Andries - Thank you, sir. As to The Small Unit Tactics SMARTbook, Amazon shipping has been remarkably problematic due to COVID! It is even difficult here in the US, so I can imagine it is worse when trying to place an order overseas. I know that the publisher (The Lightning Press) works with distributors to sell to allied military instillations. I believe that would include South Africa...but I don't know if you have access to military book stores or uniform sales through the South African military at this time, since you are now a veteran of the Infantry. Have you tried contacting the publisher directly? - www.thelightningpress.com/all-books/
