The 'Real Warriors" come later on.....
That's great! It's nice that they have something for the less astute physical specimens to do.
Hey, check your PM's here.
Tonight's episode on Surviving the Cut is the Air Force Pararescue Team's turn at making your head spin!
The 'Real Warriors" come later on.....
O, the roasting will be here soon. Might want to go look up tpg's background. He'd put anyone here to shame with what he has done and lived through for all of us. Watch your tongue.
Watch my tongue…roasting? If you clearly read my post it said “I don’t know if you are joking or not” you should have assumed that I was not bashing on TPG. Growing up with a father in Special operations in the USAF, many kids have picked on me and my decisions in life because of the fact that my dad was in the USAF. I do not question TPG’s background, I am merely stating that all services deserve equal respect, especially concerning special operation divisions/pipeline. It gets tiring hearing from immature kids that ____ sucks, ____ is better in high school when they haven’t gone through anything yet. You understand?
Sage advice, but advice that goes both ways, paduan. There are a great many veterans on this forum, most of whose stories are totally unknown to you. I would perhaps be a bit hastier to declare one man's life to put all others "to shame."
Squat and hold, airborne, before you get this thread locked down.
tpg was joking. You'll note the little laughing smiley at the bottom of his post. Secondly, I would advise you to cool your jets a bit and don't post in a forum with a chip on your shoulder. This was a very civil and light-hearted discussion and with a little patience and thought on your part, it can remain that way.
Before you respond, think about what you said and how it would sound from another perspective. "The 'real warriors' are the ones who try and make it into any special operations pipeline." There are a great many warriors in this country's past and present who have never spent a day in special operations. Real warriors who fought through places like Fallujah, the Karbala Gap, the Shah-e-Kot Valley, Sadr City and al Dora. Men and women who gave the last full measure of devotion to their fellow warfighters. They are no less deserving of the title "real warrior" than those who have found a home in special operations. So before you get so wound up at a perceived slight to your chosen brand of special operations, remember that your own opinions could be seen in that same unflattering light by those who made great sacrifices for their country outside special operations and earned the title "real warrior" with their sweat and bloodshed.
