Someone put my CAC in a jar of peanut butter once after I left after a 16 hour shift and forgot it. I just wanted to get a burger off base. :(

Right after I got done watching Thin Red Line this news story breaks.

I'm not sure how to feel about it but Sean Penn was a bit of a dumbass in that movie.

Honestly I was scared as balls my first time doing house to house searches in Baghdad. Dark rooms, blind corners, and being the first rear end in a top hat through a door loving suck.

This is why you assign the SAW to your big (or short) assholes/rednecks and put them at the front of your stack every time.

That was my cousin. 6'7" and fairly built, but dumb as a box of hammers. When his unit was working at a checkpoint, they'd load him up with extra armor and a SAW and make him stop cars. With his Oakleys on he looked like a cross between a heavily armed vending machine and some kind of redneck cyborg.

CQB can be very unforgiving. We usually just tried to go through the house/building as fast as possible to not allow people time to figure out what's going on and get ready to fight. Though if you take contact you slow it down and become much more methodical.

Are Mexican Marines usually called out to do this sort of thing? It's been a while since I read about the Drug War.

From the Mexicans I know, the Military is the police force of the rich/politically connected, the police are normally just owned by whatever cartel controls the area or atleast so heavily infested with them they can't be trusted to do anything outside of going after speeders and drunk drivers

Dust from the bullet impact rises up before that headshot dude goes down. Unless the thing passed cleanly thru him, it was a miss.

I did, this is where the bullet has impacted and sent dust up, but the fellow is still standing.

I think it's more likely a miss, but can't say for sure.

What else do you do when you don't know what to do? Uhhhh lets stack! Proper MOUT requires so much coordination it's insane. Especially considering how much just one person can gently caress up the flow and consistency and make a bunch of dudes stack

Yeah I want to say the Military is more of a national SWAT/DEA and are the ones most trusted with this kind of poo poo.

I'll look for it later but I remember maybe 10 years ago a supposed Mexican dude made an ask/tell about being Mexican Mil and just pretty much doing raids only. And they played a lot of LAN CS on their offtime. Ultimately he was probably fake I just vaguely remember it.

If you were going to get nabbed by Iran as a U.S. service member, this is probably the best time since 1979 for it to happen. Even the IRGC doesn't want to gently caress up the lifting of sanctions.

I just read about it a lot and don't have any details. But the Marines are the ones who go on raids because they're perceived as being not-corrupt, and they have an esprit de corps and U.S. training. If you see a cartel boss get killed / captured, it's usually the Marines.

You have:

Marines (can be trusted)
Army (corrupt)
Federal Police / a.k.a. "federales" (corrupt)
Gendarmerie (they're new, don't know much about them)
Local police (corrupt)

The local police aren't corrupt, they know exactly who's paying their mortgage.

Hahaha, the news is reporting my squadron as the command with those people.

It's actually CRS-3. We don't even have retarded riverines that go out on missions without working GPS, communications, or enough fuel in the tank to get from point A to point B. We also know how to tow a boat with another boat. For as much as I complain about how little support my command gets as a reserve squadron, at least we aren't as retarded as our active duty counterparts who regularly crash their boats, sink them, and now get captured by foreign countries.

That dude is going to lose his job.

Do those guys have to go through SERE by chance? If not "don't cooperate with everything they say" seems like a lesson that should've been included in workups.
