Commentary on Fear Not Having spent a total of twenty years overseas, working and living in over 100 countries, personal safety was of high concern. The safety of our colleagues, friends and families often superceded ones own safety as they were often not as prepared, conditioned or knowledgeable on how to defend themselves in hostile situations. Many of our colleagues had Military service to draw from, as did I, and many of us were skilled in forms of martial arts and hand weapons. In such cases, when your civilian contacts were accompanying you in areas of potentially hostile activity, it was normal to assume a protective, or at least instructive role, when in tumultuous situations. That is why "Fear Not" and paramilitary training is a must working overseas. Keep in mind that most countries in the world to not have 2nd Amendment rights that we do in the USA. Yes, the "bad guys" are often armed making your decisions more critical. Our US Government cannot override local laws, except in special circumstances, so count on being unarmed on foreign soil for the most part. However, since the USA still honors our rights to bear arms, we should defend those rights and learn to use a weapon and be prepared to protect your family and yourself. Remember, "An armed man is a Citizen; an unarmed man is a subject" The intention of the book, "Fear Not", is to share a collective knowledge and skills to help people deal with the inherent dangers in our society. Most definitely it is true that your chances of encountering danger are much higher in foreign countries. Teaching and informing overseas American citizens has been a continuous challenge for decades. Our Agency, along with the Department of State, conducted safety and training indoctrination to our Embassy and Consular personnel as time and budgets would allow. Many of our expatriates and civilian employees had never been overseas and were both naive and inexperienced in their foreign environments, making them easy targets in many cases. We instructed them in using common items and materials as "equalizers" or defense weapons and even built their confidence by showing the power they could develop using speed, decisiveness and surprise. The follow up would be for the attendees to continue to practice in groups or enroll in regular self defense courses. "Fear Not" is a book I would recommend to civilian employees in preparation for their overseas assignments. I would equally recommend it for our citizens to read and learn from on their home turf. I would also recommend that people be exposed to some common sense "tradecraft" to enhance their observation skills and how to "read" a potentially dangerously situation. Kudos to the authors who want to help people avoid danger if they can, react to dangers if they are involved, and ultimately survive and protect their loved ones. Ken Walther
