Kind of my way of thinking. First off, if you don't want to throw your rifle down, don't throw your rifle down - you are paying the instructor, not the other way around. Secondly, what were you clearing that either tomahawking or mortaring wouldn't get the bolt to the rear, or forward?
I'm kind of meh about the emphasis some instructors put on clearing the most complicated malfunction - I can see for .mil users who may not have a backup; As per LEO's, I've always been of the opinion that if immediate action doesn't clear it, transition to the sidearm. If I'm your partner, the last thing I want you doing in our gunfight is trying to clear a charging handle impingement, we got shooting to do.
JMO, YMMV.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
