HATE CURES TRANNYS posted:Did the victim deserve it? I wasn't around then, but the story goes that the victim had a knife on his plate carrier and the E-6 decided that the best way to teach a lesson was to show. He goes up, grabs the knife, says, "This is why you shouldn't put a knife on like that," then stabs the guy in the plate carrier. Victim was all Ranger and decided he didn't need his plates in that day, so the knife wasn't stopped by much and there was a good amount of force behind it. I'm pretty sure it just missed the dude's heart. Two idiots with one story.

joat mon posted:coming to a stop and being slaughtered as you de rear end from the truck was the prescribed action in the mid 90s. That reminds me of my one and only trip to JRTC before my last deployment. I was in a Delta company in the 82nd, so we were a mounted unit. We did one mission as a company convoy and were halfway out of COP Tillman when the lead truck in the convoy started to take contact from some OPFOR guys in the woods. OPFOR had only small arms so everybody is thinking that the lead platoon will just push through and we'll engage with 50s as we roll past. Instead the acting PSG of the lead platoon decides that having everyone dismount and chase through the woods after OPFOR is a far better idea, but in doing so he blocked the road and stopped the entire convoy with half of the trucks still inside the COP. This jackass ends up getting most of his dismounts killed, but before we can even try to grab them OPFOR sends a VBIED to blow up the truck behind me and block the ECP of the COP, which means now we have to wait for a wrecker to pull the downed truck. This loving retarded rear end fifteen year E6 who is the downsiest motherfucker I've ever worked with in the army effectively got 12 people in a company of 80 killed because he thought dismounting in the middle of an ambush was the best thing to do. He's a drill sergeant now.

I'm not saying vote Trump but does anyone think Hillary is going to make daily life better for those still stuck in service? Lol at making poo poo better for people that are still in. Let's make poo poo better for people that are out and especially people that never join. Let's ensure that they don't have to join or deal with whatever problems a Trump presidency brings. Any chafing in the military because of a Clinton presidency is far better than the alternative and if it means a few Joes get released from the military then so be it. If it means some generals and admirals get let go then all the better.

What would you do if we were in combat?" gently caress you, we're a heavy weapons platoon that rolls everywhere in trucks. I would probably keep driving rear end in a top hat.

Booblord Zagats posted:"Collapse and wait for the welcome and sweet embrace of death" would have been my answer if the Marines ever asked such questions. Instead we were just called slurs a bunch until we started to run again to stop the dumb DI impression every over motivated rear end in a top hat does. I actually said the truck thing on a run once when my leadership was trying to motivate us to run an extra mile. I got smoked for it and everything because I "questioned the orders of my leadership or some poo poo".
