The Era of Biden

Naaaaaaaaaaah man, you're the fireteam leader.
I worked in military intelligence as the equivalent of a scout.

I'll go on up ahead and see what's there.
You handle the team coordination.

nah man, you are the commander, you have the best judgment

I would just be your Sergeant Major, support the commander, advise him, back him up

[Haumana]

Not at all. Just pointing out the hypocrisy.

'I'm the alpha look at me, thug life, American religion...'
Shit actually starts to happen
'Nah man, just gettin high, I'm a pacifist.'

Armchair idiocy ftl.

Oh. How lucky of you to be able to do so without having to risk a thing of value.

Armchair righteous for the mediocre.

I also don't know what Subaru Frampton said that was such a bad plan, since I didn't scroll back to see.
But I'd take him along.
He's 6'4" and well built.

Not only can he carry shit, but if an ambush happens we all know the OpFor will be shooting at the Sasquatch.

I actually found that a lot of those big guys fell by the roadside, under their own weight

I'm only 5'9", but it's not about the size, it's all in the mind

I have carried the max, 130 lbs all up weight, for hundred of miles

size has nothing to do with it, it just came down to will

the will to fight for the brothers to the left & right of you, team cohesion, that is what drove me on

Grumpy is not a team player, he'd be dead weight

[DBTrek]

How far we have to go?
I thought we were defending your fort by the Mennonites.

tell you what, I've run selection for the Recconaisance Platoon

that's not special forces, but that's about as elite as it gets in the conventional force

once you get past the initial selection, weed out the weak

all it really comes down to, is could you get along with this guy in an OP for weeks on end ?

in my experience, Grumpy would fail on that alone, he just doesn't mix well with the Jocks

I'd take Monte over Grumpy in a heartbeat, Monte is a Jock at heart

[DBTrek]

Hmmmmm.
Maybe it's the Florida in me, but I always viewed SF as more jock than Monte.
I mean, yeah, his uh ... approach to relationships leaves much to be desired, sure.
But a Florida cracker ... a swamp rat ... a redneck from the south .... less jock than some juggling British git living on a co-op?

What am I missing, man?

[Smitty-48]

What am I missing, man?

I just give my professional view of it, as the NCO

as commander, you make your call

I could not get along with Grumpy in an OP for weeks on end

nobody in my unit could

in my unit, Grumpy would just get beaten to a pulp in the mess

he doesn't listen, he doesn't follow, he doesn't have self awareness, he's a dickhead

and yet even tho I can't stand Monte's politics, I just get along with him, come what may

that's the test, for a Recce Patrolman

Cuidich 'n Righ
