Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 50
One particularly telling example concerned an officer at a bank robbery who was fearful for himself and others. Dr. Klinger says, "Once he started shooting, however, the fear he felt for himself evaporated, as the sense that he had to protect the bank customers and employees took over." Thus, though the officer was engaged in a furious gun battle where all the shots fired by the robbers were directed at him, the only fear he felt was for others." This is an excellent example of the protective, warrior thought processes that occur in what I call the "sheepdog" response.
