I generally apply the engineer rule to them. Good at what they do, but probably absolute morons everywhere else.

There is a suprising amount of incompetent SF guys.

I'm pretty sure I know which forums those are and they're ones I used to check out a lot in the past.

Seeing so many dudes I had previously had a lot of respect for turn into conspiracy mongering lunatics is one of the post pathetic and disappointing things I've ever seen. I stopped reading those forums when they started saying poo poo like American liberals are the biggest threat this country faces today.

It's not just a SF problem though, you'll find these dudes in other combat MOS's. All of the NCO's I had in my platoon turned out to be chuds.

I worked with a counterintelligence warrant officer circa 2015 who was a full mega CHUD already then, bordering on conspiracy theory believing. It's really concerning to know that someone like that possibly in an incredibly sensitive position might have gone fully down the insane MTG (he was from Georgia even) Q-Anon believing rabbit hole.

The ranger regiment group that I've seen leans super heavy chud with guys proudly claiming to be boogaloo boys, being largely in support of the New Zealand Mosque Shooter, seeing libtard communists as a sworn enemy that all must be killed, and worshiping Trump as the perfect god emperor. On the positive side, a lot of the of biggest chuds are old boomers who seemingly just figured out what the internet is while it seems a lot of the younger guys have seen the group and bailed like I have. Also on the positive, since the election the 2-3 non far-right posters have been trolling the group a lot.

So to the surprise of no one, rangers tend to be psychopathic racist assholes.

I'm astounded at people thinking that 1)D are communist/socialist to a man.
2)that this DOD stand down is to eliminate anyone who leans right. I guess for the communist takeover.
3) (this one I've seen a few times) that America is going to become South Africa, because they are replacing all white people in power with minorities and (legit quote) "we know what happens when white people aren't in charge." Minority rule =/= White Genocide.

The Trumpists aren't giving up. They are just going back to Obama rhetoric. Except now they think it's cool to just be open and out with their bullshit because for the last 4 years, their beliefs were those of "the majority". Nvm they never were.


E- I missed the fantastic news about Toomey/Fetterman. I hope Toomey gets a super aggressive and painful prostate cancer.

ST 6 is so good because it’s about the end of the Cold War instead of just trying to be an action movie.
