The flaw is that the GF, after acknowledging Michael is a Marine war hero, then proceeds to ignore that fact.


I disagree. As a war hero and Marine, if he was faced with a similar confrontation while on duty, he'd have obviously been armed with various weapons to defend himself.

On the steps of the hospital, as a civilian, he was NOT armed with a gun to defend himself had the carload of hitmen decided to open fire on him or attempt to enter the hospital to get his father. His coolness was in that not knowing what they would do, and not having anything to defend himself with, he did not panic but instead kept calm and collective, made a snap quick decision under that kind of pressure, and called their bluff!

Two totally different scenerios under very different circumstances.
