>>65393477OK Robert
>be infantry>first mission involves shooting enemy>get shot
>15 (fifteen) devgru troops were killed in a single helo shootdown because they were bored of waiting for stuff to dothey must have a pathological illness or something
>>65393521it's worse than that>tie in with a Ranger element that is getting into regular fights>refuse to go on latest Ranger operation because it sounds exhausting and dull>Rangers get into a major firefight within hours of launching the operation>now you look like a bunch of serious pussies>desperately search for a ride to the action >the only thing that's available is a Natty Guard helo whose pilots don't even have their own NVGs>pass those pilots your own NVGs and hop aboard >unfortunately for you these pilots have very little experience flying at night and in combat >also unfortunately the pilots will do whatever the fuck you tell them because you're not just SEALs! You're special SEALs! >pilots ignore repeated warnings and fly directly over a battlefield littered with dudes firing RPGs>all so the SEALs can look slightly less incompetent in a hunt for low level bad guys
>>65396254If that's the way that went down, it wouldn't surprise me, but makes me sad.RLTW
>>65396254This wouldn't have happened if the Rangers didn't fuck up
>>65397460fuck up how?
>>65396254What a fucking mess, still the pilot should have told them to fuck off.Pilots spend a lot of time training to fly with NVGs, you don't just put them on and fly like it's nothing.
>>65397497>Pilots spend a lot of time training to fly with NVGsMost don't. Especially not NG lol.
>>65397501That's why he wasn't issued any, the guys that are issued them spend a lot of time training on them.
>>65397460It's the Rangers job to start firefights. They don't lead the way for nothing.
>>65393477>>65398535I bet you're the faggot in this thread >>65375153 that is crying in this thread defending delta.
Seals don’t like swimming apparently. Personally I’d fire all of them who said this , theatre job is swimming stuff
>illegible ESLbabble post bumping the thread after 18 hoursOh, so this is a slide thread after all, I see.
>>65396369Swiss Cheese theory.For it to go that wrong, a lot of holes needed to line up.The problem is always ego.Companies fail because executives cut corners, or finance guys broke rules designed to stop them fucking up.A sub imploded because the boss was sure he knew better than the regulators. Governments have fallen because the leader was sure that rules didn't apply to them.An entire nation is collapsing before our eyes (no replies req) because the head honcho can't be restrained from following his worst impulses.These alpha types always think that they can dodge any consequence and so they take obviously stupid risks and sometimes their luck runs out.People get dragged down with them because they didn't or couldn't stand up to them.It's really not specific to the military, arseholes are everywhere and if you let them into power, bad things happen.
>>65400800Do you have brain damage?
>>65398622SEALS have been shilling the hardest the other boys are silent nature to their modest you mad shit ass fuck and they're the only branch that takes people right off the streets maybe you should chill out
