That’s all the news for today guys, so until next time, thanks for stopping by.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will be allowed to shoot back at Naxals in self-defence after it puts into place safeguards and procedures to ensure that there is no collateral damage, Defence Minister A K Antony has said.

Reiterating that armed forces would not be used in offensive operations against the Maoist rebels, Antony said that operational clearance to shoot in self-defence would be given after careful consideration by the ministry.

“After carefully preparing safeguards and operational details, for self-defence only, we will give the operational clearance. We will first inform the Air Force after we give the permission,” Antony said, talking to reporters on the sidelines of an Air Force function in the capital.

The Minister said that other than logistical support, the armed forces would not be deployed for any kind of anti- Naxal mission.

“The IAF will have a limited role to transport the paramilitary forces and casualty evacuation. There is no proposal to engage the IAF in a combat role,” he said.

Let’s be clear about a couple of things shall we?  Self-Defense is not TaeBo, Cardio Kickboxing or Martial Arts Fitness classes or any of the myriad classes being offered to women in the guise of self defense.  Self Defense is about the real world and real world consequences when something goes horribly wrong.  Self defense is about recognizing potentially violent & dangerous situations; knowing how to employ verbal de-escalation and boundary skills; having a game plan to deal with a threat; and having the physical and psychological skills to deal with violence and its aftermath.

We would like to share with you the 10 most common mistakes women make when confronted with violence.

1. Hope – They hope it will go away.  The reality is it won’t go away until you take the necessary actions to end the situation.
2. Compassion – Do not put your moral values on your attacker.  If he had any compassion, he wouldn’t be putting you in the situation you currently are in.
3. Fairness – It doesn’t exist in violence.  If you are expecting there to be rules, here’s one, there are none.  Expect to be attacked at your most vulnerable and when the attacker feels most in power.
4. Social Conditions – Do not put your social restraints to the attack.  The two are completely incompatible.
5. Equal – Don’t believe you can compete equally with your attacker’s level of violence.  You aren’t programmed that way. 
6. Anger – Do not let your anger lead you into a confrontational or challenging situation.  You need to keep a clear head.
7. Submission – Don’t give up, ever, if attacked.
8. We’re Safe – Don’t continue to lie to yourself or your loved ones.  The realities of today are what they are and living in a fairy world will not make them go away.  Prepare yourself and your family.
9. Self Doubt – Remember, you didn’t start anything or ask for any trouble.  You are justified in defending yourself.
10. Giving Up – see number 7 – don’t ever give up, ever, if attacked.

You know and I know that only “we” can be responsible for our own personal safety.  To believe anything else is just setting ourselves up for failure and a lot of pain, both physical and emotional.
