Diplomacy really works well with a Plan A!

Diplomacy is my favorite means of action during troubled times, but it is not my first thought. No decent person likes or wants violence, to bad not everyone is decent. My first thought is to get my Plan A figured out and put it in place. Zone Defense is my first line of defense. When I feel there may be a threat coming to my area I work on my Plan A:

• Where (which direction/s is the threat coming from)
• What are their advantages (professionals, well armed, organized, their number, do they have cover or body armor)
• Where (on the body I am going to strike)
• How (my weapons, options, and what is available)
• When (what will be the proper time for me to strike)
• Who (will be my first strike, second, third, and after that what can I expect)

I will strike with the maximum amount of force looking to dismember and destroy to the maximum in the minimum amount of time. I will not wait until I am attacked. Remember, seldom is a threat one or two against me, I am usually out numbered and out gunned. Once I am attacked it is over for me unless I have a workable Plan A. What is your Plan A?

I have survived odds of 100 to 1 and that does not include my Viet Nam experience. Attitude guarantees victory. That is why attitude is everything in my world.

* Zone Defense will determine if there is a threat
* Plan A is how to neutralize the threat
* Now is the time to use diplomacy (you don’t want to hurt anyone, but there are people out there that want to hurt you)
* With the proper attitude you can persuade others diplomacy is a good idea (lets be friends, for now)

You may believe there is a lot of thinking that goes on to figure out a Plan A, but you would be wrong. With practice it can be done with a glance.

On the other hand the bad guy has limited tools at their disposal, intimidation (the threat of force) or force (which they may get hurt).

Unlike us, we can call 911 (just kidding). If you have confidence in your Plan A it will show. Normally, when the threat feels you have a workable Plan A, they will be more open to negotiation.
