The point was not really about what /exactly/ to do, but about the
problem of properly assessing a fucked-up situation. A cop pulling
someone over knows for sure who's the good one. A soldier witnessing
some other "friendlies" shooting each other probably doesn't - nor does
someone witnessing random people shooting each other at a mall. The
difference is that a soldier is probably trained to assess a situation.
That gun-crazy Texan happening to sit next desk at the local steakhouse
likely isn't.
