They say they got him by the lot number on the filter canister. Everyone at the unit probably knew who it was when investigators came asking about an insurgent.

He probably saw superior officers supporting BLM and the media excusing whatever the rioters did and thought he could get away with it.

It goes by many names, but some dude that's a perpetual shitbird, uses his veteran status to impress people and get discounts, will lie about having been on deployment, will then also then say horrifically racist shit about the places and people he claims to have deployed to, and will have basically faked an injury so that he didn't have to go in the first place. All while being incompetent, useless, and unreliable to everyone in his unit.

On top of all of that, he's probably cheated on a significant other, and probably did something disgusting, uncouth, or inappropriate with the girl he cheated with... to the point where he may have genuinely sexually assaulted them.

A true piece of shit, through and through. Exactly the kind of guy that would be a male feminist in public.

Demanding discounts for being a veteran, lying about being deployed, faking Injury, incompetent, useless and unreliable in general.

How someone like that didn't caught higher rank's attention and got the boot? That person sounds like everything opposite for what military supposed to stand for.

The military can't exactly fire people. That's part of the problem with government make-work programs.

They had pictures of the guy without the mask on, too, so I'm thinking it didn't take them too long to confirm the dude's air force asset number for the mask against the pictures.

We do, it's called the ASVAB. Problem is different job skills mean you get different minimums.

Grunts had to have a minimum of 32. That's basically "I don't remember how to do fractions, but I don't know what they are" level. Lowest passing score without a waiver I've ever seen was 28.

When I did the ASVAB in high school I opened up the booklet and saw that someone had circled all the correct answers in it. I did the first few just to double check ,and they were right, so I just said fuck it, copied it all out of the book. Got damn near 100 in every category. Figured they’d make me a general or some shit if I ever joined

It's kinda weird. All the books and stuff are fine, but they are significantly easier than the real test. The recruiter's have a kind of practice test that they use which is mostly harder questions. The actual ASVAB turned out to be somewhere in the middle. I felt like only the recruiter's version prepared me for the basic stuff (like mathematics and the like), nothing really prepared me for any of the spacial or engineering stuff.

Actually cheating on the ASVAB won't do much for you. For fields like the Navy's nuclear field, a high ASVAB just means you get to take the NFQT (Nuclear Field Qualification Test) which is harder and usually you taking it alone, hard to cheat. Even after the tests you still have to go to the schools and pass the courses. I was a navy nuke and I can say I agree that field is one of the most difficult classroom curriculum in the country (including most colleges).

In fairness, we liberated Asia from the Japanese, and most of those fuckers could barely write anything but their own name. Sometimes it's about just being smart enough to follow simple instructions.

Well, that's the thing about a military grunt/cannon fodder: They need to be smart enough to follow orders, but not smart enough to want to go around questioning them.

Maybe in the 1800's. Nowadays, it's actually pretty important to for soldiers to think on their feet.

It's actually a pretty common trope within military strategy where the unit on it's own is utterly destroyed because it lost communication with a higher command element, and was unable to adapt in any way without orders.

That's exactly why you aim at the guys with rank insignia first. The military is a meritocracy, so you're shooting what passes for their cream of their fighting population.

That's the whole idea, actually, is to cull them down to their worst specimens, and then you can take over and destroy what's left. Except humans are stupid enough to want survivors as workers, instead of breeding and moving more of their own kind. Like they do when they're at war with other species.

LOL, Not for a long time.

P.S. In pretty much any combat situation all rank insignia are removed and you do not salute.

EHHHHHH....

Not exactly. Shooting at officers assists in the breakdown of command and control Shooting at people who are the most skilled would be really impossible to tell.

Except humans are stupid enough to want survivors as workers, instead of breeding and moving more of their own kind. Like they do when they're at war with other species.

Stupid? Every single empire that has ever existed normally tries not to wage a war of extermination because everyone, including the empire, is far better off with a productive population, than an exterminated one.

It's not stupid, it's the only smart decision.

I remember hearing about it. From what I was told from the people who took it, it was more about what kind of skills and promotions would be available more than for disqualifying people.

permalink parent save report block reply

– Gizortnik 7 points 5 years ago +7 / -0

Not on the promotions, and it only measured the possibility of skills.

It's mostly about the military trying to figure out where they can place you in a job role.

OK. So it's for job placement rather than for disqualifying bad applicants and placing good ones, like a test everyone should be able to pass.

– Gizortnik 3 points 5 years ago +3 / -0

Except there's still a minimum. Yeah, mostly anyone can pass, that's actually what the score means. 32 means a 32nd percentile. As in your score is above only the 32nd percentile of people did worse than you. Meaning 68% of test takers did better than you.

The absolute vast majority should pass... but there are some that do not.

The farther removed from infantry, the farther removed from physical realities. That's why Marines are almost universally based as fuck, and why the Air Force are a bunch of simpering pansies nowadays.

The only things I liked about the Navy were corpsmen and their women in dress whites.

More what they're not teaching - initiative, discipline, resilience, camaraderie, the value of manual labor...

My grandfather was in the Air Force, and he could dig a foxhole. The last time I was with him, a couple of weeks before he passed, he needed my help to walk to the bathroom, and his grip was still stronger than mine.

Nobody today has got the kind of strength that every man once needed just to survive.
