At a shooting range in Arizona, a man with a whistle yelled: "THE RANGE IS COLD!" It was 104 degrees. I looked at the sun. I looked at the man. I looked at the sun again. A soldier does not question command. A soldier questions only himself. I walked to the truck and put on my winter jacket. Gunny watched me zip it to the chin. Gunny is 70. Retired Marine. He has never once been confused in public. "You cold, son?" "The range is cold, Gunny." He looked at me for a long time. "...It is." He walked to his truck. Put on his jacket. Then his son did. Then a stranger in a fishing hat. Then a woman who had driven in from Phoenix and owed nobody anything. By the time someone called "THE RANGE IS HOT," 23 grown adults were standing in the Sonoran Desert in winter coats. Sweating through them. Saying nothing. Nobody broke formation. Nobody explained it to me for two hours. "Cold" means stop shooting. Safe to walk out. Gunny says it's the best thing that's happened at that range since 1996. Now it's tradition. First cold call of the season, everybody puts on a jacket. They call it Samurai Rules. It's July.
