[ARCHIVED THREAD] - In the realm of combat, I am woefully ill prepared. (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 12/17/2016 7:53:08 PM EDT

I've no military training and in all my reading, I've garnered little information regarding how to survive and succeed on the battlefield. Were the civil war to start while I'm healthy enough to participate, likely, I'd quickly be the bright blob in the FLIR turned into the many small, bright blots, or the grey-faced, mouth agape, whose photo is fapped to by the basement dwellers of the opposition force. ITT, would those in the know submit for me some pearls on how to survive and flourish in combat?

If we don't get this game goin' soon, I'll have to be at the rear. But then again, I don't want to be the old coot holding everyone back.

As long as you take out at least one bad guy, you will die happy. I know I would.

Even illiterate uneducated dudes who fuck goats and each other on occasion ( not that there's anything wrong with that ) can epmlace IEDs and be observers or informants.

If the past ten years of liveleak.com have taught me anything it's to not pick fights with the side that flys Apache helicopters.

I have never been in combat either, but don't do what I do. Every single time I have gone to play paint ball I was always the first to charge and always the first "Dead". No matter the plan I made prior...fuck this I can tag him.....DIE FUCKER!!! splat splat splat splat...well shit.

Only the young people in this country have recent combat experience.

Put the young people out front and they'll ghost and leave the old people as bait.
