3 Americans tackled and stopped a massacre on a french train.

FUQ- Cazeneuve said the Americans “were particularly courageous and showed great bravery in very difficult circumstances,” and that “without their sangfroid we could have been confronted with a terrible drama.”
I am not jingoistic a bit. I do ponder why 3 Americans are the ones who took the guy down on a European train. 2 soldiers and one civilian. A fourth a Brit entered the fray after.
Are Europeans so conditioned for help that initiative has been drained from them? Is the the product of increased statism and socialism? I see this trend in the States where more and more people act similar.
One person told me it has nothing to do with "nationality" (missing my point, I do not believe in polylogism) but thinks its is because they are military, yet one was a civilian, and isn't military service mandatory in France?
