Cut Throat By John Steele

     Most people operate in “condition white,” as Jeff Cooper described it, unaware of their environment. Thus, they become prey. What is needed is not to be on constant red alert, but to be in a condition of relaxed awareness, aware of one’s environment. It is what is called in psychology, “mindfulness”:

     Be mindful, in the war zone of the modern world, and survive!
