Re: Current US Military
I mean, in the end, it was Gant who chucked military practices and started running things like a free wheeling civilian, which, classic case of military best practices and unconventional warfare being two totally different ball games.
Do I think it imperils the unconventional warfare effort if you smoke hash, drink whiskey, and stash a liberal media hoochie mama on your pos, Major Kurtz?
No, I don't, go ahead and write "fuck" on your airplane, it's no skin off my teeth, but you damn well know the military is gonna go for a shit about it, that's why the military gets so boring after awhile.
We've all pulled a Jim Gant from time to time in the military, but we all knew the rule on that; don't get caught.

If Gant was a SEAL, there would probably be a Hollywood movie about him by now. 'American Spartan'

One of the things Gant was indicted for, by SF commander Brigadier General Chris Haas, was "you painted inappropriate and unauthorized symbols on Government vehicles, painted the symbol on your vehicle a different color, then challenged the enemy to try and kill you"Speaker to Animals wrote:You can't even draw a penis in the sky these days without getting an LOR.

Re: Current US Military
The reasoning was that Gant was, ostensibly, "attracting enemy attention and endangering the lives of his men", when in reality, Gant was the only one the Taliban were afraid of, so they didn't go after him, they went after softer American targets instead.
