If there were odds on this I'd say the raid won't happen. If it does happen it'll be a massive clusterfuck and they'll lie about what happens.

Reading most of these Navy SEALs and Delta Force/Green Berets war stories, you'd think they're some of the world professional badasses; only to realize that the only engagements they've ever fought were with illiterate third-world goat fuckers armed by stolen Soviet weaponry, while being equipped with thermal weapons and modern communication. I wonder what the casualties rate for them would be like if they had to fight a pitch battle against Russia without relying on air superiority on the war in Ukraine.
Of course if that was an actual scenario, not many of them would survive to sell their latest books on Amazon or scripts to Peter Berg and produce another blockbuster movies.

Just check out the causality rate in all volunteer GUR units, which has veterans from said units. High end gear and experienced in urban/close range stuff, but mogged by Russian artillery and other combat arms elements.

When it comes to attrition warfare special forces are just like those rarer enemies that drop better loot in video games. Unless they're behind enemy lines sabotaging stuff all the time they're really just more expensive fodder.

People think it's cool to be behind enemy lines, raiding the rear and shooting supply trucks (in Ukraine we've seen vids from both sides doing that) but what is missing is that if you get caught and tracked, you will be facing a platoon sized infantry element with fire-support on call, that arrived to the battlefield on vehicles and are rested and can re-arm (while in your unit you'd be 8-12, overburdened, and likely with no fire-support)
It's a high-stake gamble and very dangerous indeed and in those situations in doesn't matter how good of a shooter are you or how fit you are. You are not making it out.

There is a reason all the youtube operators talk about "cqb" and nothing else. It's pretty much all they've done during their entire 20 year careers of warfighting. What it boils down to in reality is not as glamorous as they make it out to be. It's landing a helicopter on top of or next to some poor shitty house in the middle of the night, blowing a hole in the wall to make entry, and then proceeding to murder and canoe the half asleep residents that grab their rusty rifles and stumble into their hallways to investigate wtf is going on. Maybe if you're bored and want to make a name for yourself you can instead hack them to death with a custom indian hatchet you had made for yourself to show what a true warrior you are. That's it. All night. Every night. For deployment after deployment. Imagine being trained to think you are billy badass by killing essentially defenseless people for 20 years and then suddenly having to fight a war where the other side has the fire advantage against you. No shot. That is the reason most vetbro volunteers don't even last a month in Ukraine. They are bred to bully sandniggers, not fight men. Of course now that the word is out they don't even bother volunteering there anymore. Much more comfy to make cqb videos on youtube and relive the glory days of shooting farmers in the forehead with high powered rifles until there was nothing left.

In an odd crossover, former Navy SEAL Officer Dave Madden has retweeted Patrick Tomlinson.

SF and most special ops units are not designed to go force-on-force with peer threats. Navy SEALS are made for specialized raids that require small teams, Delta force and SF are not the same: Delta force is essentially the land version of Navy Seals with some other specializations and SF is primarily meant to train and organize militias in foreign countries during combat operations. Global War on Terror has seen their missions crossover with one another, so it’s difficult to parse the differences when you hear SSG Billy Badass spin his yarns on YouTube, but none of them are units you’d see on a traditional battlefield. Their fight is happening prior to a large war or on the fringes of one.

Um, since Delta selection hasn't changed, maybe it's not a good idea for Lt. Col Reese to be talking about specific routes on a podcast. 38 minutes in. There was also another guy on this podcast in a different episode, Kelly Roby who revealed specific selection board questions and the desired answers. Ridiculous.
Jesse Vint is on hour 10 of Warzone right now. Someone in chat asked him if he preferred second focal plane or first focal plane scopes and he didn't know the difference. This isn't gear autist shit, it's fundamentals of scope use that you have to know.

Lmao, Satterly also revealed specifics about the paths. I think at this point they just want people to go into Delta. Like handing the cheat sheet to an exam and winking "just pass bro". I imagine if you are smart enough to take notes about the podcast and remember them, you are probably intelligent enough for the job. Oh no, and he started with the sports metaphors again, like getting to Delta is like going to the Yankees after playing in second division.
Bob and DJ like to do that too but with football. I think they got it from McRaven, who was pretty into sports metaphors.
+10 hours of Warzone, dude. Imagine the brain rot bro. When they say they want the "right guy, not the best" It's clearly implying your intelligence is secondary to "something else" (imo you capacity to murder and be okay with it when under orders)
Should I drop the ID of the British guy that showed on the Garand Thumb video who I personally have a grunge since 2017?
And yeah, the real challenge starts at OTC. At that point, VW selection is known if you're autistic enough to remember the checkpoints. It's almost an entity by itself and very symbolical.

You know how we feel about the Br*toids in this website, lol. Drop whatever you have on him if it's funny and relevant.
Okay. This is going to be a long one. The guy's name is Benedict Griffiths, from Wales.
My grunge from him is personal from an incident that happened this year. Years ago, I got doxxed (also) by a bunch of police guys and active military, where they leaked my whole data that was available in one of those police cruiser computers. This reached him, and somehow, he got my mother's number. He threatened her, doxxed her, and half successfully phished her for money, likely going for his unit's funds. Already outrageous, I let a detail omitted: She had cancer at the time of this and died of said disease in July. I reached him with a snark account for any comments. His?
"I literally don't care. Retaliations"
EDIT: Most of the info was removed since him, the GUR Counterintelligence guys and Ukraine sympathizers are everywhere. If you want to know more, shoot me up a private message.

Please stay on topic within the context of the thread and avoid personal fights with other users. If you have valuable things to contribute to the thread, do post them. Thank you.
I just want to comment that it's funny that the killer of the CEO of UnitedHealth apparently went off the deep-end with Ayahuasca. Kinda like the Ranger who shot and killed two lesbians while tripping on shrooms. So ayahuasca makes your violent tendencies more profound and DMT and Ibogaine pacify you? idk
It's really quite incredible that the killer wasn't SOF or even a veteran but a kid who's a software engineer. SEAL Ian Fitzgerald seems to agree (in kind of a brutal way.)

Some more info on the former Delta Force Officer and General who called out Rob O'Neill for his "embarrassing money making shtick". Pot, meet kettle.
Florida Funders
Thomas was the commander of USSOCOM when Billy Lavigne, who was in B Squadron, allegedly murdered Mark Leshikar, and as mentioned previously, lied about the case when asked about it on X.
Brilliant command of the English language. Also funny that he couldn't remember what YPG stood for.
Long form interview with Jim Foreman. This was really good.

It's only okay to make obscene amounts of money when you are a retired Officer and you are in the "in" club. If you are not an Ivy-league educated gentleman, but an average American hick who chose to enlist, (according to the O's) then you don't deserve shit.
Thomas is/was also part of Lux Capital. A venture capital firm in New York. I wonder what course in US SOCOM do they teach you finance and portfolio management so you can work at a venture capital firm? It must be a course only for high ranking officers. (sarcasm)
From the article of Rolling stone I highly recommend from Seth Harp. The Anarchists vs the Islamic State. A really good article.
PKK stands for the Kurdistan's Workers Party. It wouldn't be a stroke of genius to put "democratic" in their "new name" if you actually knew the ideology of the YPG was of Ocalan's "Democratic Confederalism". It's in the name Mr. Thomas. Not even the slightest bit of research into their allies it seems.
(huh, now that I read about it in Wikipedia, every mention of the YPG from democratic confederalism was scrubbed, even though it's widely reported by Seth Harp and others to be their ideology. Wikipedia Jannies must be sweeping in full force, so American's isn't publicly seen supporting a socialist group that threatens Turkey; an "ally" who supports jihadism)

Yeah, The Rus/Ukr war has especially made me realize a lot of military is over-inflated bureaucracy. The idol worship is total non-sense. Patton's idom still rings true, "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."

LMFAO I didn't know there were Ocalan memes lol.
Video of DJ Shipley showing how whipped the Navy has got everyone in the SEALs. A dude who was 30 min from getting the trident got kicked out because of cadre member of BUD/S who was pissy he took a call instead of listening to a brief. (Great waste of money and resources and human personnel btw)
SEAL Ian Fitzgerald had interesting comments on this. Reveals a lot about the SEAL community.
"Would love to hear from that dude what his perspective was on the incident.
To counter a point by DJ, that dude wasn't "less than 30min away from being done with this whole process", he was just starting the process. Pissing off the wrong guy who happens to have positional authority over you can get you kicked out of the Teams at any point in your military career.
The Teams lost a "super accomplished" guy they spent a ton of time and money training because he behaved in a completely normal and professional manner which rubbed a Cadre the wrong way.
On the flip side, the Teams pushed through one of the biggest turd officers you could imagine. I don't even have to give any more details than that and every TG reading this from my generation knows exactly who I'm talking about based just on that. That's how big a turd he was. He "played the game" and palled around with the right people and they pushed him forward despite total incompetence, failing and skipping multiple blocks of training, and being openly mocked and derided by his classmates.
One of the absolute worst characteristics of the SEAL Teams is the tendency to protect the pack but eat your own. If you're seen as "in", you'll be protected to the detriment of everyone. If you're seen as "out" for whatever reason, could be just one guy who doesn't like you, the priveledge of rank is that they get to punch down and guys will dogpile. "
"So the DOD wants all of your time and attention, which is a big part of why guys kill themselves. They neglect their families. They neglect important life milestones, like the birth of children, funerals, weddings. This guy showed independent thought and agency and that's why they shitcanned him, because they don't want that. They want a machine they can use up and dispose of later.
And yeah, the guy never became a SEAL, but I bet if we had him in here for an interview he's lived a better, healthier, more fulfilling life than DJ had been living. DJ's spoken at length about the downsides of being a SEAL, the mental anguish and physical issues that went along with the job. I doubt the phone call guy is doing Ibogaine and DMT in mexico in order to get sane, which don't get me wrong, is not a weakness, just shows what a gut punch a career in the Teams actually is."
By the way, anyone knows who this officer is?
