Zambroski Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) That seems to be the general consensus from membership boards this morning based on her "using Special Forces and advisers in Syria and the area." NO RESPECT AT ALL FOR THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION. Not that I expected anything different though....just thought I'd throw it up here for those not "in the know" about our military's REAL thoughts on what we've got cookin' in our leadership pot.

Fireball 440 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Z's got military background and he's a licenced Zombie hunter. I know a few other Zombie hunters, but 2 of them are definitely not "in the know" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 He's the commander for an elite squad of apocalyptic specialists who answer to no government. Like Charlie's Angles with zombies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtralettucetomatoe580 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Lol anyone who posts on a "spec ops" forum.... Is not an operator. You can't even have social media accounts in SF, SEALs, MARSOC, SOFD, etc, but somehow you can frequent an unsecured forum talking about the ins and outs of the job and that would be ok... Some people believe everything they read on the inter webs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes not always with proper approval from the Pentagon. You also see them as contributors on News Channels and documentaries all the time as well.

You can't say current operators are against going into war zones because they read it on a forum... Because those people, the only ones that matter, the ones with their asses on the line aren't on forums running their suck about Hillary. Most are silent warriors (well not the SEALs) and don't disparage the administration publicly because they like staying in those units. As soon as you start doing that, you are not allowed in those units. Fact is you don't stay in tier one organizations if you don't want to go to places like Syria and fuckstart a bunch of dudes faces with a knife. You aren't in units like those to sit on the sidelines. I find it very hard to believe many would be "woe is me" because they had to go to Syria. Do most military members probably not like Hillary, yeah no surprise there, but most operators would love to go to a new playground and kill some more shit.

Can't imagine it be fun training for years and never getting to utilize it not to mention the personality type that probably are in those units to begin with.

MSAREV Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It don't matter where you served - Army Intel / Socom / Seals....etc. Once your in....you are always in , in some way of sorts. I worked with my dad for a few years for a chemical company out of Detroit and the owners dad was in the OSS in WWII - he still had weekly/monthly contact with his dad's old buddies and they'd stay "in contact" and tell us what was really going on with the world , contradictory to what was spewing out of the mainstream media then ( early-mid-later 90's ) and some cool stories from WWII also! I thought the world was fucked up then (1990's )- its WAY more fucked now. WAG the DOG to the highest degrees sometimes / MOST times.

The ones bitching about having to go are irrelevant because they aren't high enough on the tier-one totem pole to warrant a POTUS ordered trip over there, because the ones that do warrant it are already there, have just cycled out, or are preparing for a trip.

That is what they are called on the outside. Like on an internet snowmobile forum board. Calling them anything else would have most likely led to a bit of confusion. Go back to your own forum skippy, or any others where you brag up your own "spec ops" experience. That is why Bat Boys don't get selected to move up in the rankings as often as they think they should. Uh Oh!!!!!! Now, as I'm sure you are as proud of your experience as I am. Maybe we should not try to rip each other up over it. Maybe just thank each other for our "service" which I can only hope my thanks to you are as hollow and meaningless as your thanks to me.
