    The problem with Grossman is illustrated by the experiences of a gentleman I knew who passed away just a few months ago. He had 30 yr career with the FBI and when he retired, he decided to offer the benefits of his training and experience (and suppliment his retirement money a bit, though he regularly reduced or waived his fees) by offering clases to local LE agencies. His own son being a local sheriff's deputy, this former FBI guy had a some feel for situations local cops might encounter that maybe didn't have the most comprehensive training to deal with. So the gentleman put together maybe a dozen or so day to week-long coures on a variety topics, but ones that could be roughly broken down into two categories: tactical use of force, and psychology, i.e., how approach suspects so as to difuse instead of escalate potentially violent situations; how to deal with people who were mentally ill; how to negotiate effectively, etc. The classes proved to be very popular, and the gentleman soon found himself regularly traveling around the country conducting training for cops in organizations of all different sizes, from big, urban police forces, to small town agencies with less than a dozen officers.
    Very quickly, however, my friend noticed something significant: he was booked solid to teach classes on how to kick open a door and clear out a building, but very rarely were LEO leaders signing up for classes that trained officers on how to better deal with people, and hopefully avoid violence in the first place. My former FBI agent friend thought, "well, budgets are limited, and chiefs want to keep their officers safe, so it makes sense they'd spend their limited money to teach them tactics to handle the most dangerous situations." So he decided that he would offer what amounted to a "buy one get one" offer: for every tactical type course someone booked him for, he'd throw in a psychology class for free. Much to his amazement, even offering these classes for free, very few agencies signed up for them. So he decided he would instead REQUIRE it: in order to have him come teach a tactical class, potential customers had to also sign their officers up for a psychology class. This actually had the result of reducing his bookings, and some agencies even canceled trainings they had already booked when told of the requirement. My FBI friend asked one chief why this was the case, and the answer he got was that the rank and file officers weren't interested, and didn't want to "waste time" attending a class on descalating a potentially violent situation.
    The point being, the last thing American LEOs need is to be told they are the righteous users of violence, that using force is how they protect people, and that they need to be ready to do so. By and large, most are already prepared; indeed, it would appear at least some are far too eager to do so, to the detriment of other possible solutions. So Grossman going around spreading a message of "violence is good--and holy-- when you're the ones who use it," is not the training or mindset American LEOs need. That is basically a mastrubatory circle-jerk for just the sort of cops we really don't want having badges and guns. It might be harmless, or even beneficial to some, but for the already overly aggressive, the ones who create the problems, ruin the reputations of entire forces, and cause rifts between officers and their communities, it's validation of their worst impulses, not a way to hone their best.

      It is a problem that is wide spread and will continue to be until the leadership in these departments starts to recognize that deescalation is a viable option to get their officers home safe.
      People like Grossman are a plague on society. They tie these obsolete ideas to religious belief in order to legitimize and justify them. It amazes me that this type of crap can get published in this day and age. It’s also disheartening that there are people in this world that would purchase a book like this. Especially those that claim they follow the teachings of Christ.
      I’m glad that Karl made this video and exposed this guy for what he really is which is a fraud hiding behind his supposed beliefs.

    Ok, I'm going to answer these questions all in one place instead of chasing the comments:
    "Why didn't you include verses from the Koran or Islam in your video, HUH?"
    Simple:
    Lt. Col. Grossman didn't reference the Koran in the children's book I was reading. If he did, I would have. If you'd like him to include verses from the Koran, or the Book of Mormon, or whatever else you think should be there, let him know and maybe he'll make sure to do so in his next work.
    "The Bible verses you included in your video are mocking our religion/are fake/etc!"
    The Bible verses I included were IN Grossman's book, excepting two I added of my own accord at the end that I believe he missed. None of them are fake and with all of them I provide the book, chapter and verse so you can confirm. If those verses are a problem for you, or make you uncomfortable, take it up with author(s) of that book, not me.

      I read Karl's intent as an illustration that treating one sentence out of ANY work as independently authoritative can be confusing, bizarre, or at odds with the author's intent. In this instance, the author of the book is quoting individual bible verses in an effort to buttress his argument that being ready to kill other people is a virtue.

      Never mind. I realize I am talking to a knock off George Carlin and not an actual psychologist who most likely has no clue on what I am discussing (as the theory in Lt. Col. Dave Grossman’s books, “On Killing” and “On Combat” is based on Pavlovs theory of Operant Conditioning. Which is a provable theory. However, I guess you would rather mock than actually attempt to understand and learn.

    Now Karl, I don't mean to tread on any toes, but as someone who volunteers with kids alot, it would really help if you keep the book pointed at the audience so we can admire the fun pictures! Likewise I find it helps to readout and create sound effects, such as growling after mentioning wolves in the beginning so the audience knows that wolves are bad! Storytelling is truly an art and what better format to indoctrinate your children's with than a wholesome, religious picture book about shooting wolves!
    We have to be mindful of our target audience, whether it be children or delusional adults Karl.

    This channel is sheer class. Unlike Lt Col. Grossman who seems to be some sort of sociopath, someone should be digging up the guys garden with ground penetrating radar and cadaver dogs.

    I love how they celebrate Audie Murphy and Chris Kyle and how good they were at killing people, and just completley look past the fact that they both suffered with horrendous PTSD because of what they had gone through.
    This book just fetishies killing without actually thinking about the personal and societal consequences are for it.

    9:11 In feudal Japan only the ruling class were allowed swords, the commoners were legally banned from owning any kind of weapon. Also samurai had the right and privilege to strike down any peasant they feel have slighted them in any way whenever they pleased. Medieval Japan was among the most radical anti-right to self-defense countries in history.

    For content to wake such a wide range of emotions is incredible. The hilarity in the costume and the sarcasm. The coziness in Karls smooth voice, the pretty pictures and the nice background music. The complete disgust and horror of the actual content of the book... and Karl if you had a fursona what would it be?
