Peterson Questions
As everyone has probably figured
out, I have alot of questions about SCARS. Here's my list of questions I wish Peterson
would answer. Personally, I don't think he'll provide answers. Maybe I'm wrong!
In
the meantime, if anyone can think of additional questions we should ask, that are
reasonable and not too rude, let us know, we'll add them to the list.
And
hey, if Jerry answers ALL THE QUESTIONS, doesn't pick and choose his favorites, and
doesn't use profanity or something, we'll be happy to post his answers.

Lew Hicks says at his website:
a.
SCARS is not used at all in today's Navy SEAL Teams.
b. Scars had only a limited
and separate teaching.
c. Scars has been banned from the Teams, and its developer
( who had merely changed the name "Kung Fu" to Scars) has been black balled
for lying in his advertisements.
d. Very few Navy SEALs ever took the Scars course-it's
use was limited to BUDs students who were not yet SEALs
Could you please comment
