Getting picked last for teams doesn't end after grade school. Some military teams get the soldiers everyone else refuses. Is it normal to always have to check the weapon of the soldier next to you so he doesn't accidentally kill you when checking your own weapon to make sure its safety is on? Or make sure he doesn't accidentally kill the friendly citizens around you?

Every night, the cable news networks gave the latest chaos stories from Afghanistan. They never mentioned the two schools we built, a bridge, countless school supplies and clothing handed out in Afghanistan. They never asked for soldiers' footage in areas they didn't visit, as if whatever happened that was not before the hand full of media approved cameras, didn't need to be mentioned.

When the chain of command ignores your concerns, where do you take them? When the chain of command forces you to go out on missions lead by other soldiers who do not know how to read a map or operate the most basic functions of a radio, who do you tell? Especially when, time and again, you know the chain of command gives full credit to the soldiers you babysat out on a combat patrol. You can stay in the military and continue being the bitch-boy for the incompetent soldiers, try to prevent their natural tendency to endanger themselves and others or you get out of the military.

  • Did you ever make the afghan diary? Id like to get it. Ive had the good, and the bad you dealt with with. Was a 19d myself, went to iraq during the surge. Overall great life lesson learned. Definitely want to watch the whole diary if practical. Had I stayed in, Id be part of the surge to afghanistan to the shittiest place on earth in kunar. So let me know please

  • @klm1959: Well.....SF doesn't work like regular army. They don't weed out everything and expect these soldiers to follow orders like robots. They are free wheeling detachments for very good reasons. Not all special purpose units can work within tight structures.... but I guess this isn't very available information so nothing really wrong with ur comment.

  • Stop favoriting porn like crap on youtube wanker.

  • And that comes from a 48 year old man with youtube "porn" only in his favourites.

    Have a look through some more of his Afghan vids you tard, its fucking evidence that some of these soldiers are not properly trained... or just dont give a shit.

    Hes just airing his experiences, and he should be allowed to do so without you stepping in with your "the us army is fucking great no matter fucking what" BS...

  • Is it out now?...It seems that you have some good stuff to watch.

  • Dude weapons safety....what the fuck????

    Delta doesnt check their weapons bro.

    "this is my safety" *points finger*

    In all seriousness was that guy a green hat with the launcher open?

  • Selection is supposed to weed out weaklings like you. Your inability to work within the US Army to fix what "You" "Personally" feel are others inadequacies is amazing. You lost your SF Tab for good reason, you never should have had it to begin with. Stay in college you puke, you are to weak to say it face to face.

  • 10% rule always applies.

  • u amaze me. ur sooo nice. and u use ur brain, ur a good man, and i want to thank u for serving in afghnaistan. god bless u. ^_^

  • Lookin' good!
