  1. Come on... The teeth one is pretty fucking funny.
  2. Govt expenditures is a big part of the GDP. That was shut down for a third of the quarter. For us to grow at over 3% without a major factor of GDP is a big deal. But yeah, fuck all other than spend, spend, spend.
  3. It is pretty impressive considering the govt was shut down for a month... Economy keeps on trucking.
  4. Worship would be sucking them off. Explaining the truth to rev is a little different.
  5. Whoosh. I understand what it means when Rangers get in a fire fight... But keep pretending like I meant they didn’t have air assets.
  6. They’re all ex SOF military. Basically same shit as the military with less rules and more money.
  7. And no one is better than the guys that fly our planes. 20 years of dropping bombs make you really fucking good.
  8. You just don’t get it. Rangers, SF, Seals, Delta, etc aren’t only good because they shoot better. They command assets that no other military or force does. All the air power in the world and all the fancy toys are only useful when deployed properly. No one deploys assets like the above guys. Sorry you don’t understand modern war, but it’s more than how you shoot and move. Then again all those guys above shoot and move infinitely better than any other adversary we have. Your own SF being included as elite like the above. Why? Because unlike Russia, China, whomever, we’ve been doing it since 2001. Our NCO’s and officers in those ranks have every asset, every piece of training (designed and refined by 20 years of combat), and actual real world experience that Spetsnaz or some banana republic SOF dude will ever have in 100 lifetimes. That’s why 30 dudes can lay waste to 300. This isn’t a fluke. American SOF forces, British, Canada, Polish, and all the others who’ve been dropping people since 2001 are on a different level. Rangers are better because of their design and outfitting. A force on force battle isn’t Delta’s thing... That’s Ranger bread and butter. When you’re done being embarrassed, let me know.
  9. Total moron. I mean, in the end it all buffed out. Didn’t die, got my degrees, etc.
  10. I actually had my college already paid for lol. I had a full scholarship coming out of high school. I’m of superior intellect and physical ability. I did it because I was bored and thought it’d be a cool story. Young and misguided. Does make for a cool story though.
  11. Lolol that water is nasty as fuck....
  12. Actually, statistically speaking there are more people with college degrees or some college in the infantry than any other job in the military. Fun fact!!!
  13. I chose a combat job. If you’re gonna be in the military, you might as well do hoodrat shit. Dropped my full ride scholarship to do it. 18 year olds are dumb.
  14. The media/Hollywood has turned my generation of soldiers into fragile little things. It just isn’t the case. Of course there are those messed up, but it isn’t as bad as depicted.
  15. True. Very true. I’m always surprised how resilient people are. How many people saw some serious shit, and are 100% ok.
  16. Not really. I’m sure they could. I’ve never seen that. Drones are useful for command and control for fixed and rotary. It helps with the overall picture on the ground. The pilots can hijack the drone feed and run it separate from their own view. Basically doubling cameras and situational awareness. The best part is ground guys like JTACs can view the fixed and rotary pilot’s cameras on a tablet. That’s when it gets fun. Easier to communicate and walk them on target. Plus you get to watch shit get ass raped like TV.
  17. You have to remember the kill radius of a GBU is hundreds of meters depending on its size. All ground targets look the same from the air. There is some serious deconfliction needed. I shouldn’t also say never. There have obviously been one off’s where fixed or rotary were firing on targets from command direction in a toc. It just isn’t the case for 99% of the time.
  18. Completely different story. Attacking known locations during pre invasion strikes and GWOT continuing operations are not the same thing. Troops in contact handle all air assets from the ground. End of story. But please, tell me more how it works. This was my shit. I’m not trying to wave it around in your face, but this is what I did. It’s how it is.
