Well it was identity rats in Bangkok.
Terry would be proud of you.
I think that is something people don't realize, because our generation's experience with James Bond is with the action movie Goldeneye era of James Bond.
In the books it's far more about the intrigue and spy skills than it is about big shootouts. Bond's signature gun, the Walther PPK, is chambered in .380, which for those who don't know, isn't very powerful, because it's meant for super compact pocket pistols, for concealability and emergency self defense, not big showy gunfights. And apparently that was a size up for him, in the first book his gun was even smaller.
Thats because the point of his character wasn't action, it was these sort of skills
I think the Bourne Trilogy does a good job balancing the action and soft skills, Bourne is constantly actively being hunted in the movies, so he has to stay covert and arouse as little suspicion as humanly possible in order to avoid arrest, while doing what it takes to complete his mission. So most of the movie is him gathering information covertly, tracking people down, etc. and the big action sequences are usually a payoff at the end
“PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS” is the final piece in the matrix . Book changed my ENTIRE THOUGHT PROCESS; I’m not only able to be 100% effective on all aspects on decision making but more importantly I’m re-ordering the thought making process matrix tailored to my situation for MAXIMUM effect
The OODA loop isn't a tactic like this video suggests, it's a way of describing human behavior. BOOM! A gunshot just rang out! Here's what happens. 1- You OBSERVE the bang. Something really loud just happened! 2- You ORIENT yourself! What was that? Is someone shooting? Did a 2×4 just fall on the floor? You're in a warehouse, did a pneumatic hose just burst? You look around. You see an air hose moving around. You DECIDE what to do. Who is going to fix this? I see the engineer fiddling around with it. I'm going to leave him alone. You ACT – There's nothing I can do here, I'll continue doing my work.
That's not a romantic gun shooting example, but that's how OODA works. This guy skims over it and doesn't give you fuck all of information.
Who Am I and Who Wants Me……..
“Call the police” wtf?! Are we tryna b James Bond or not?
