I'm pretty sure everyone with any involvement in special operations since the 60s has learned to hate SEALs. A decent regular infantry platoon could perform a raid better than the average seal team, at least until probably 2007 or so.

Well to take our minds off of politics we can always panic about the EU directive on copyright bringing the internet to a screeching halt as everything has to be monetized through contract hell. Article 11 is dumb. Article 13 is catastrophic.

Its like everybody had the idea that tariffs were good so lets also apply them to every piece of digital content ever.

Oh hey, I remember Shim talking about this during one of his "gently caress SEALs" rants.

Or it was a completely different SEAL re-enlistment ceremony while on an objective surrounded by dead bodies. I assume there have been a bunch of them.

Shim talked about a tomahawk, so unless that was one hosed up retarded hunting knife chances are it was a different one :discourse: :3:

My high school made every freshman take a “Health and Wellness” semester that covered everything from nutrition to safe(er) sex to ball/breast self exams to CPR and basic first aid.

This was in an area I’d call “very conservative but not hog wild crazy conservative.”

I had a semester of home ec in 7th grade. I learned how to cut a hole in a slice of wonder bread and fry an egg in the middle. Sex ed was equally useful. Utah.

Edit: Shim was ranting about SEALS before they even got OBL. He's probably been out longer than most current team members have been in.

Custom Tomahawks were a gift given to certain SEALs, and they were using them to mutilate corpses collect DNA evidence. It's a widespread issue. They also like to "canoe" corpses. Which means shooting the forehead at an angle so the bullet digs a cone shaped divot in their head. In addition to being stupid and ghoulish it also fucks with body identification. Supposedly one of the idiots on the Bin Laden raid did it to him. If true than these "quiet professionals" couldn't manage to behave themselves during the most important mission of their lives.

Middle school home ec taught me to make french toast, fry an egg, sew buttons onto things, and we made tiny throw pillows. There were also some oldass books we found in a cabinet that were extremely “how to make sure your hardworking husband never deals with problems or kids at home.”

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
My dad was an SF officer that deployed with JSOC when it was SEAL Team 6s turn in Afghanistan.

A SOF task force lead by one of the Special Forces Groups was located across the street from the JSOC compound. Every day my dad wished he could have been deployed with them instead of SEAL Team 6. SF was out in the hinterlands following leads all day and all night. The SEALs sat around waiting for big leads.

This was during the first few years of the GWOT and the SEALs weren't at all accustomed to fighting in a land locked country. Making tactical mistakes even regular Army troops knew not to do.

Frequently his reaction to their plans was "are you loving kidding me? THAT is what you want to do?"

The events of Lone Survivor happened not long after he left, he wasn't at all surprised it happened. As a senior SF officer working with them he spent a substantial amount of time trying to keep them from making what were to him very obvious, stupid errors in judgement and planning.

Just take a look at which SOF unit SOF Task Forces are built around and lead by and which one isn't.

Yeah lol, I think you're right. I'm thinking of the Neutron bomb part with South Africa, which also has the orbiting "peace platform" but just the weightlessness part. I can't find the clip on youtube right now for the laser though. Was that maybe in 2?

It's why I teach scouts. I live in AK and do search and rescue. One of the worst things we had was a kid who made it to shore and died while huddled under a tree. If he would have known how to build a half rear end shelter he probably would have made it.

Jim Acosta, the reporter who got his press pass taken from Trump gets his pass back


https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/16/media/cnn-trump-lawsuit-hearing/index.html posted:


CNN's Jim Acosta has returned to his post at the White House following a court ruling that forced the Trump administration to reinstate his press pass.

"It's not a big deal," Trump told Fox News in an interview on Friday. "What they said, though, is that we have to create rules and regulations for conduct, etcetera. We're going to write them up. It's not a big deal. If he misbehaves, we'll throw him out or we'll stop the news conference."

The local sea scout program in my town just reactivated under new leadership. Gonna meet with the retired chief who volunteered to run it. He has no experience running a scout unit but lots of free time. I’m gonna try hard to push it in the direction of Bay Area, CA sea explorers instead of some unholy Navy cadet bullshit.

I got the kids best interest at heart since I grew up in the program. I’ll be damned if the focus isn’t on practical seamanship and safety afloat over marching and uniforms.

There were some Sea cadets at Corry Station when I was there for a C school. They had them out at 545am doing pt on the ground in disgusting mud puddles in a downpour.

I laughed as I drove my rear end to the galley to eat biscuits and gravy. Wonder if they ever learned the Navy doesn't do that poo poo.
