Pawpaw has thoughts on the matter.
"Honestly, I don't know what they were doing. It seems to me like the whole department had the "it's not going to happen here" state of mind. When you get into that state of mind, you fail to do the hard physical training and psychological training.
This response was a fuck-up from start to finish."
