Here's a secret about documentarians. They will provide whatever outlook they want on the subject. They aren't the news. They aren't there to tell you how things are. They are always. And I mean ALWAYS going to spin things to make money and prove their view. I watched a documentary a guy made about missile strikes in countries we aren't at war with. He made JSOC out to be this big secret mysterious hulking presence in the world. JSOC has been out in the open for a while now. The classified stuff they do will blow your mind. Fortunately they are VERY ****ing good at covering their tracks. The kinetic strikes on foreign terror cells? Yeah pretty open about all that.Then he went on about how one strike killed a 16 year old because he was the son of the number two guy in the Haqqani Network. Well lets see. 16 year old terrorists are a dime a dozen and he was the son of a high ranking individual. Lets put two and two together. Kid was being groomed by high ranking terrorists to take his fathers place. We found out. We smoked him. Not much of a mystery is it? There is a ridiculous stigma surrounding the special operations community and what they do and how they do it. Documentarians love to exploit that. So when a certain individual went to Somalia to write a book about how the US is plundering and raping them and the pirates are simply trying to live their lives (against direct warning not to do so) and ended up being kidnapped by said pirates its no wonder that they haven't sent people to rescue him yet. Really **** documentarians. They are just as bad as any news station.
Leadership babies their ****ing soldiers and that not only creates more retarded work to do but it takes away their ability to actually think for themselves. That's why my career is taking a nose dive. I don't give a shit if a couple of SPCs call each other by first name. I don't make my soldiers stand at parade rest for me unless they piss me off. I expect them to act like adults and I've always gotten outstanding results from my soldiers. If I don't I don't take rank. I don't write them a stupid ****ing counseling statement. I smoke their asses if they disrespect someone. I make them write essays if they break something. I make them carry around a 40lbs ammo can of dirt if they lose something. That's me. I grew up with a military father who taught me how to be an NCO. Modern army doesn't teach you how to lead. Only kiss the ass of the person above you and break your back to make sure the weaklings don't feel left out. That's a load of shit.
For example.
I was recently deployed with an individual who thought "big boy rules" meant him inspecting every little thing MY soldiers did. No. He is a Staff Sgt. I am a buck Sgt. He tells me what needs to happen. I make sure it happens. That's our roles. Micromanagement is the mark of an incompetent leader. He then decided to rearrange the teams SEVERAL times while we were about to deploy. I don't want my guys who I've personally trained going out with his team. Half of them were incompetent dipshits that don't even know how to operate the system we are supposed to. Then he proceeds to tell me that he's keeping my assistant team leader back at HQ with him because he doesn't have the clearance and needs my ATL to go to certain briefs he isn't allowed to attend. I think that's horse shit he shouldn't be here if he can't do his job. But whatever. Couple months pass by and he tells me that I have to return to HQ and leave ALL of my soldiers out in the field. Won't tell me why. I've been rotating this whole time between teams and he has been sitting on his ass watching downloaded movies the whole time. Apparently he sent my ATL home because he was using workout supplements that contained banned ingredients. Nothing that gets you high just not FDA approved. I proceed to lose my shit on this guy because he just ****ed one of the best soldiers I've ever seen out of his clearance and therefore his MOS and career over some dumb shit like that. He decides to give me an Article 15 and says he's sending ME home. I proceed to beat the ever loving shit out of this man in front of three field grade officers. He was sent home for incompetence. I was sent home for beating the shit out of him. If I'm losing pay it better be worth it. Leaving no NCO's. Whole team got pulled back. SSG Fatass is now stuck in ops as an Lt's *****. I was sent to another post when I got back. My ATL is waiting on his reclassification to a mechanic. All because they wouldn't listen to us when we said this guy didn't belong in our platoon (which you have to try out for and be selected to in the first place) and command said they had to have an E-6 for this deployment. ****ing bullshit.
holy ****ing shit man.
Its the same with our schools nowadays man. America is slowly and slowly becoming incompetant. We are forgetting the "hardships" or atleast not trying to go through them.
But man its a big air of relief to see someone like you out there.
And I was mostly raised by my mom since my dad was in the navy and when he came home he would help uncles and aunts with their farming. But having a dad who has done his part in the navy like a respectable man sure is a nice thing to look up to. And I believe it was the same for you, in regards to lookin up to your dad when it came to the military?
Honestly man what I wanted to do was a mass revolution as a politician. But then someone reminded me that if i do a revolution as a politician then i will kind of loose credibility. So I am planning to do a global wide revolution of these corrupt laws we have installed within our countries, and all the morals we have forgotten. Throwing away the good things.
I mean I perfectly understand that a country is selfish because it has to look after its own people in this kind of a world, and when 1 country rises up another falls. Now that just ain't right to me. And I think making a unification in the militaries of all the countries would be the first step to uniting the world.... what is your take on this sir?
