Quote History There is no ammo anywhere near them, I would bet. You would lose that bet. DC now controls all sent forward forces and is managing the external optics very closely- but we are doing everything we can take care of and protect our own even when they are attached away. For example, where do you think that pic of the loaded mag came from? An otherwise closed pouch is the answer. |

None of these politicians thought “hey maybe I can help these guys out”? No, they walk right past like they’re some homeless beggar. They’re not in the jungles of Borneo or something. They deserve better, and better is easily attainable. Is it that much to ask of SNCOs and Os to go secure some mats? For that matter, I don’t know why they wouldn’t have just been on a packing list. I don't think the soldiers give a shit about politicians talking to them or helping them out and would rather avoid it all, because politicians have no fucking say and the troops cant accept any gifts from them regardless. Theres a fucking reason for it. I'm sure they were briefed about politicians, lawful orders, ROE and everything they need to hopefully not fuck up. Your trying to blame the NCO's but it looks like the guys packed what they wanted and I'm sure they will be sending up some cots once they figure out what they are doing, how long the mission will be and where they are sleeping for this shit show. You're worried about cots and I guarantee those guys are wondering how long the are going to be stuck there so they can tell there employers, schools and families. They have electricity, ac/heating and a roof over there head, they are fine for the short term. |
