Rob reminds me of a lot of guys I know who played football with post concussive syndrome. When he's lucid he can be remarkably insightful about things like tactics, but when he's not, he's totally off the rails. On his podcast, it's just one long ADHD stream. He must have been extremely competent at one point because his troop (a ~20 SEAL element) didn't suffer a single casualty during the surge in Iraq going out daily.
No, Dave for sure saw combat. He really was the stereotypical SEAL sniper. He didn't take the Mk23 into combat, as far as I remember him saying. He fired it quite a bit in testing for the SEALs and might have done some dives with it. The link about watches that @Justtocheck posted has a story about how he was injured that I heard back in 2008.
I don't think so because this wasn't a case of Dave contacting George Sandmann, the owner of Empire Rifles back in 2010 and conspiring with him to fuck guys out of their pre-order deposits for rifles. Instead, as a moderator of tacticalforums.com (fuck me I'm old), Dave would ban members or delete posts that were critical or skeptical of the claims Sandmann made about why he'd miss deadlines and delivery windows he promised. The thought was that George promised Dave a rifle/rifle(s) if he helped deflect some heat, but this is an assumption as nobody has their comms logs to prove this. Assuming that website still exists, one has to log in to see the posts and I bet a lot the stuff from this incident isn't there anymore (Dave deleting stuff, ownership changes, server migration data loss, etc.). Hearsay from some oldfag on this site is not worthy of being cataloged in the OP.
Aight man, since you acknowledge most is hearsay, I will refrain from naming him. But thanks for your info. If you think anyone else should be in the list and have links, do share.
I left bootcamp as a fucking twink
If Dan Crenshaw exemplifies something, it's the cynical manner how one's service is used as a political tool. He's a generic suit that's as empty as they come and if not for his Moshe Dayan cosplay and service record, he wouldn't have been elected.I left bootcamp as a fucking twink

Also eyepatch McCain should be up there somehow
Imagine being maimed and having PTSD over a bullshit war that America left nothing to earn his and his fellow men's sacrifice for other than MIC stocks and still shill for war.
I'm surprised people think soldiers should be jacked.I left bootcamp as a fucking twink
Done!I left bootcamp as a fucking twink

Modern soldiers have to carry a ton of weight. Obviously being a roided out bodybuilder isn't practical but way to many guys are hungry skeles which leads to getting injured.
I think modern guys are overloaded as fuck.
We need to send our boys out in polos, khakis and tactical crocs in order to counter the enemy's comfy sprinter strategy.
Cheap and sensible solution?!
Or hell, just the simpler uniforms and kits like we saw pre-1993.
as someone non-military, can someone explain why vets hate john mc cain and crenshaw so much?
You serve in a military unit. It's a service to the country, to protect the constitution of the US and its people from enemies both foreign and domestic. A veteran CAN be a good politician, but what's frowned upon is the use of your service for clout, societal advancement and political influence. Many people fought in the same wars, had more horrible experiences and don't advertise it to get a cushy job in the government, towing the party line, making you rich. It's seen as scummy, and exploitative of the characteristics of true and honest serving.
war mongers that have profited on the deaths of young Americans. There's never been a war they haven't voted against.
That's why the first thing they look at for promotions are good run scores. You'll be top of your game in other areas but they'll always look at your run score first.
In addition to this, Crenshaw got a lot of flack for going against his base. After the 2020 election a lot of his constituents believed strongly that the election was stolen by Biden (no comment). Crenshaw did some retarded press conference where he basically insulted his base's intelligence and if I remember right called them 'un-american' for questioning the election. This all but confirmed for a lot of people that he was 100% part of the status-quo controlled opposition.
why do they keep trying to psyop drugs to vets, too? Weed and shrooms don't do much long term.
you and the other guys above have been very informative. thanks.
CIA created LSD to try to turn potential enemies into drooling peace loving zombies who will not revolt or be effective resistance to the goverment.
