Thinking out loud about NUTNFANCY, people who make videos and my subscribers

I think my problem is that he uses his Air Force tanker experience as something to back up his "tactical" acumen. I'm fairly certain whatever class he's taken in civilian life is much more relevant. Fact of the matter is that unless you're infantry or at least a fighting arm of land forces (tanks, recce, combat engineer) military experience is mainly waiting around and helping other people.

@903lew great points and I agree

@903lew Quote circa 2009: "Military combat experience does not imbue one with tactical proficiency or systems perfection... i.e. some of my best shooters are civilian."

@903lew I agree...being USAF doesn't typically yield combat experience unless you are CE, ASOS, TAC-P, or a PJ. Although, through many deployments and many years in the military, you do gain much experience and knowledge. He never claims to be the only answer and states directly that he is not an expert. In a lot of his tactical reviews, he pulls in prior service combat guys for more information before ever posting videos. I think he's doing a good job for the experience he has...respected

@PUcmw11 Aye, well put. It's just that little grain of salt one should always use. Some of his followers seem to be on a low sodium-diet...
