I concur. But it is not something a SF E8 would do... that is the common sense part.

It is not common for a kookamook to be a SF team leader.


He was a human being, not a god. He was subject to the same foibles and failings as the rest of us.

Yes, past experience has informed me that these guys, like all veterans, are human beings with all that comes with it.

My experience is these guys pick up a lot of baggage along the way. Lots of survivor guilt and guilt about what they have done. Not all adjust well to civilian life, but the vast majority do. The last four years have been very hard on them, considering the Biden administration.

They tend to be very intelligent as well.

Nope. They check for that when you enter military, they check harder when you go SF, they check even harder when you get a clearance, and they check harder when you get a high one with read-ons.

Your argument is on the fringe of the bell curve, meaning it is possible but not likely. This is how ‘tards argue.

I’m starting to smell something here Larry. And it’s not good.
