      People need to make a very clear distinction between military forces and politicians. The military sign up to defend their country, go where they are sent, and execute orders. They don't choose where they go or what conflicts they get involved in - politicians do that.
      So, if you don't like the way that one country meddles in the affairs of another, blame the politicians who made the calculated decision to go meddling. Blaming the military is the equivalent of shooting the messenger.

      Shot placement is king. Unless you hit the CNS and the target falls limp like a marionette with the strings cut, it's a good idea to administer at least a 500 grain "dosage" of projectiles (i.e. 8 rounds of 62 gr 5.56 duty ammo) to ensure a physiological stop.

      LMAO...if you are here Leon, you are probably in the know, but just in case you are not, there is a channel called 'Active Self Protection'. The host shows different self defense situations, most involving handguns. These are recent, real world shootings. Some of it is US, some from Brazil... He shows the full clip, then goes back over it in a logical manner, giving his opinion of the actions, situation, and lessons learned. There was one video where a woman and mother places 3 40 S&W on center mass, at maybe one meter, it was close. ASP slowed the video, and you can see the bad guy get off 2 shots, but missing as he takes 3. He falls, she seeks 'concealment' next to a vehicle, but that guy did not die and he could have still been in the fight.

I think he's still active so I won't mention his name. The other who I know has retired is Chief Richard Allgood. He's a few years older than me, his brother is one of my best friends.

      Special operations types get what I've heard called "stress inoculation" in their selection and training. They put these guys through a controlled hell so that when they're in actual hell, they can still function. SEALs and Hell Week is one example. Ranger School is another. I've heard a LOT of stories about guys in Ranger School hallucinating because they're denied sleep and calories for long periods of time.
      A friend of mine showed me a picture of himself just after he'd passed and became a Ranger. Dude looked like hammered shit. He honestly almost looked like a Holocaust survivor because he'd lost so much weight and been through so much stress.

    Navy SEALs are some of the best guys that I have met. I trained every single day for almost 2 years for BUDs with a retired Navy SEAL and on-and-off with a Navy SEAL who was on active duty. I always was involved in contact sports when I was a kid: street and ice hockey, football, and wrestling. After college, I found my calling in the armed forces. Unfortunately, I was unable to go through BUDs because the requirements changed several months prior to me leaving. I had a felony charge, on my record, that prevented me from joining. Despite not being convicted and having that charge dropped, it was not enough. The two Navy SEALs worked really hard for me to go. They knew that I wanted it. They saw something in me that they did not see in the other men who were in our group. It was very emotional. I, often, wonder about what could have been. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to train with two of the greatest men that I have ever known. They taught me valuable lessons that I carry to this day.

      @Bobby Knuckles in the first week of Navy boot camp everyone jumps into a pool and attempts to swim a short course. Everyone is rated a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd class swimmer. Everyone must pass this classification, and the instructors will teach you to swim well enough to complete the swim.

When we lined up on the big diving board, we jumped in ( and the front of the pack swam very competitively ) swam a course marked by orange flags or maybe cones. Some things change over time, like we didn't do the abandon ship drill, when I was at GLRB.

      They were pretty much always either vulnerable kids (often orphans with nobody else to turn to, who had been groomed by the Taliban, trusted them, and were then strapped into vests they couldn't take off and had no control over as they were remotely detonated), or adults who were terminally ill (the Taliban would get them high "so they didn't feel it" when they detonated the vest & give their family money, so many felt it was the only way they could leave their family with any security).
      I know far too many people with PTSD from having to make decisions about shooting innocent kids in order to save marketplaces full of families. The Taliban are beyond evil and the US should be deeply ashamed that they chose to negotiate with them and hand back power to them. They denigrated the memories of everyone who lost their lives trying to make Afghanistan better. Yes, withdrawal was needed, but it could have been handled so much better.

      An assassin wouldn´t stand a chance against these dudes in a war setting. But while they´re on a barbeque having a booze they´re the ones with trouble on their hands. Context matters, assassins and SEALs are both effective killers but none are invincible. Deceptive tactics works against anyone who is relaxed enough not to notice what´s going on. But as soon as the SEAL realizes the danger the initiative switches, a skilled assassin would never let him see it coming though.

      Yea, alot of people sleep on Tears of The Sun. I've had the privilege to watch movies with spec ops guys I met through the VA (surprisingly I've only met 1 Seal since I've been home though but a few army SF guys, Rangers & a Force Recon Guy) and they all agree Tears of the Sun is underrated as a realistic tactics movie.

      I read the guy's book and when I started reading the chapter, I was doubting his honesty. The man was arrested for soliciting minors and he claims the Canadian government set him up because he knew too much. I feel like the guy made it all up or at least some of it. He also blame the American sniper who was supposedly attached to his unit for that mission for revealing the informations on a plane to a script writer. Pretty sure none of it has been verified.

    I’ve been stationed in San Diego and I was on guard duty once and a few times I saw some BUDS classes running their hell week. On Monday there was maybe 10 teams of 6 guys with the Zodiacs on top of their heads, come Friday there was only 3 teams left. It looks absolutely brutal and big ups to anyone who passes BUDS, even some of the most physically fit guys just don’t get through it

      AFSOC PJs go thru "superman school" I believe it has the highest attrition rate of any MOS. The p[ipeline is almost 2 years long. My boy's class started w 106 people- 7 got thru it. In order to get thru it my boy's full time job for about 9 months prior to showing up for INDOC was spent training in mental and physical fitness including doing ultra marathons.

    • @zaynes5094
      @zaynes5094 Před rokem +1

      @Steven Bruno From what I learned, and did research on (because I was going to go into the Air Force to become a PJ), BUDs is very similar to how the Air Force trains their Spec Ops units as well. I almost guarantee that the Air Force Spec Ops (especially PJs) had to have inspiration in what they did to prep their guys (no women have made it all the way through training for Parascue, it's very tough training) with some tips from the Navy SEALS training because it is very similar in what they do. As someone who has an uncle who was PJ for 11 years before he retired from active duty and opened his own PI business in upstate New York, I saw from a distance what it took and how hard it was for him. Especially when he would tell me certain things about missions. He is a certified badass.

      Given the kind of missions these guys go on, they have to go faster, harder, longer than everyone else they encounter. The classes select for strength of will and physical capability to endure. It's better for everyone to get unsuited people to quit as soon as possible so you can focus on people who can meet the standards.
