And my grandfather learned it when he was drafted into WW2 at 17 years of age. You'll never run out of things to feel sorry about if you're looking for them.
My dad learned during the cold war when they feared nuclear war or being invaded. Except they also got their guns and got ready the one time someone did make a shooting threat.
I mean, it’s a bit silly. We SHOULD live in a world where kids don’t learn that, and a world where no one ever goes hungry and maybe where pies grow on trees. Dreams are nice and so are aspirations- but reality is what it is. People are making this a bad thing “this staffer knew how to do this because of shooter drills...” but what happens if the Capitol was still sieged (the mob didn’t need guns did they?) and no one knew how to be safe? People want to make this about guns- but the danger at the Capitol wasn’t guns was it? It was a mob of people and what they could do with their bare hands and improvised weapons. That’s reality, and things could have been worse, and had they been- or maybe even as is- that staffer knowing what to do was potentially life saving.
I learned to duck and cover if I saw a flash of light followed by a mushroom cloud in elementary school.
They also showed us a black and white video of what nuclear blasts do to buildings.
Needless to say, we had our doubts about the drills they made us do.
