I totally agree also...bunch of absolute slobs, mixed in with "gangster" wannabes who talk big, then when they get there, are scared shitless.
#1 skinny "exgangsta" with numbers on his hand....wants to go fight for his country and not dishonor is history (parents or grandfather served?) ends up getting out of the military altogether...they didnt really say why, was it dishonorable? His 16 year old wife has a baby. Yeehaw, dumbass. He talked all gungho, then pussied out when it came time for business.
#2 skinny farmboy, seemed like a good enough kid, wanted to go and kick ass, then he ended up talking shit about bush and about he didnt want to go...ended up in iraq with his unit, serving...although he was absolutely scared shitless and seemed wholy against the idea of being there once the SHTF.
#3...black fellow...seemed a tad unintelligent (no, not because he was black)....I beleive he actually went to iraq, didnt try and get out of it - once he got there, his slut of a wife decided that him being away was "too hard for her" - regardless of the fact that the guy obviously had a heart of gold and provided for her displaced family (she was white with 2 or 3 kids from a previous marriage) I wanted to beat that bitch senseless when she started talking shit about him being away. Infuriating.
Overall that NG unit was just as crooked and fucked up as some ive heard about. Undertrained, undisciplined, out of shape and just there to get a paycheck. Probably shouldnt judge all units by that cover, but holy shit man, some of the guys were fucktards...officers walk into their barracks, and not a single guy stands up. Major is giving a speech, and fucking guys are laying on their bunks when he walks in, all the way through the speech. This is the ENTIRE unit. The NCOs gave them an ass chewing.
Alright, rant off. For the rest of the men who went and served, I respect that.
