I'm not a big fan of Salty - he's a little too over the top for me personally, even though I agree with 99% of what he says. You can probly turn him off after just a few minutes is my experience. Typically he puts the subject matter up front and then dissolves into angry spitting, hissing and Tourette's. Same act as General Aesop pretty much. I guess this is the latest victim of his own stupidity. Some dude got shot in the nuts earlier with a rubber bullet and that made me smile for the day.
But that DOES raise a valid question. I know that both Tiny and BP did some "pre-season scouting" right before the "No Kings" protest. I am kinda sorta questioning the value of that. Aren't they former squaddies? Y'know... I've never had to hunt humans before or kill them for sport and amusement. What kind of intel can you gather from such scouting?What are you looking for? And what can you do with the knowledge?
We are far from armed insurrection up here in Canada. For me it is a general interest inquiry...
as a ex old grunt myself, I know the value of getting intel yourself.
ReplyDeleteany thing second hand is "Iffy" to say the least. intel most of all.
after all, it not the REMF's that have to put their ass out there on the line. but your ass. if nothing else, you can find and plan on different exit routes. and you better have more than 2 ways out of any hole you might fall into. just saying, of course.
1/503 PIR a long time ago, but there are some things you never forget.
