It's a somewhat valid point though. Some (but not all) LARPers like to dress up as, listen to, and model themselves based off of SOF or infantry yet when you ask why they never joined it's always "much dying Israel".

Like okay, but if you don't wanna die for Israel stop larping as someone who does for Israel. It's like looking at gay porn, but swearing you only like women.

>>63841340
no they commit suicide because after killing sandniggers for the betterment of humanity, they come back home and have to deal with retarded faggots like yourself that live sheltered lives devoid of any kind of struggle so you take on the role of some virtue signaling anti-everything loser

>>63841868
>Betterment of humanity
Afghanistan isn't a better place, America isn't a better place, both are directly worse because of the actions of the US military and everyone who contributed to it.

The US military has not defended the US in decades. The only branch that does anything of any value at all is the US Coast Guard.

I think beyond the cool factor, civilians would probably act more like light infantry (which these days is very SOF-like) than mechanized infantry and their giant logistical footprint. Small discrete purposeful missions, not just..being there and wait for other assets to do their thing.
The CQB hype is also more relevant to civilians who would go into urban areas with almost no sustainment, do something quick, and get out.

Regular infantry things just aren't applicable to civilians whose resources are tighter and very much finite.

>>63841868
Hey charlie, post your dd-214 so we can see that oh so great military record.

>>63841921
The life applicable skill is trauma care such as tourniquet, shock prevention, being careful about spinal injury, gauze+bandage, and casualty movement. Casualty care should be a high school graduation requirement.

The CQB larp is relevant to home defense. And your statement of Civil Levy as irregular partisan troops is relevant to SOF who have a mission to train and lead partisans.

>>63841884
>Him not deploying is whatever
No. No, it's not. Experience trumps education because education can only be created after experience. There's nothing like the real deal. You sound like an engineer or academia type that has spent so long in your terrarium of theory, you've forgotten it exists to serve the frontier of reality.

Also, being a millennial who served through the height of the gwot and getting zeroed deployments would easily be the most impressive feats of skating I've ever heard of, were it not some bitch shit.

>>63841919
Same. I was usmc infantry and I did some boog boy stuff for a little after I got out. But now I realize there's more effective avenues to becoming anticitizen number one than having the ideal optic stack on your 5.56 AR15.

Thats why training exists. The experience learned abroad is brought home and taught to the next group. Hence, the argument is idiotic.

>>63842214
Except that warfare is constantly evolving, which can make your training quickly obsolete beyond the basic stuff. Also fighting towelheads in the sandbox doesn't give much experience for real warfare against near peers, Ukraine showed us that.

>>63841340
They kill themselves because they realize they are losers who are now playing catch up with people 5-10 years younger than them in the civilian world and they have no relevant skills or experiences.
Institutionalization is as much a life ruining thing for veterans in the exact same way it is for criminals/prisoners.
I interview these people quarterly and out of all the applicants, veterans are the hardest group to employ because they just can't adapt to normal life.
They're awkward and rigid in every way.

GT is to gun owners what Babish is to home cooks. They both may have had interesting things to teach at the start, but at this point their content has pivoted from educational to entertainment, and the resources available to them are completely misaligned with the resources available to the average hobbyist (equipment, but also being able to dedicate so much time to their hobby because it's also their job), which makes their advice impracticable even when they give it.

didnt he cheat on his wife a couple times? thats why i dislike him but i dont care that much.

>>63841340
This. Nobody sees what they did as actual sacrifice or as necessary. Vets live extremely catered lives that they volunteered for. Free housing while you're active, free healthcare for life, VA loans, GI bill, preferred admission to universities, preferred employment when applying to jobs, and discounts on everything. Most get out and either weasel their way into more government employment or lie about disability from their mediocre service to continue their parasitic cycle of leeching off the government.

We hate shills

>>63842397
>They're awkward and rigid in every way.
When I was growing up (one of the CIS countries) I hung out with a dude whose father was an Afghanistan veteran during the soviet invasion. I can confirm these, these people are completely not adapted to civilian life because of how used they are to following orders and falling in line. They need someone telling them where to go, what to do and what path to take.
Civvies not appreciating their sacrifice enough doesn't help them adapt, but it's not the main thing, the main thing is that succeeding in the civilian world requires some independent thinking and some ability to make your own path.

>>63841218 (OP)
Is Charlie not friends with GT anymore?

>>63842446
>They need someone telling them where to go, what to do and what path to take.
The irony in that is when they see civilians taking initiative or making executive decisions on their own, they see it as disobedience and a lack of discipline.
They have been entirely broken by the very organizations they hold so high.
>Civvies not appreciating their sacrifice enough doesn't help them adapt
Let's stop with the "sacrifice" BS. It's a minority of these people that actually serve in combat arms and see action. 90% of the people who are "veterans" are people who changed oil in a motor pool or served food on a ship. Jiffy Lube or Chipotle, but with camouflage and morning PT, big fucking deal.
There is no sacrifice, just losers with a sense of entitlement.
No CIB? You shouldn't even be allowed to call yourself a veteran.

>>63842232
>. Also fighting towelheads in the sandbox doesn't give much experience for real warfare against near peers, Ukraine showed us that.
The only reason Ukraine exists is because of the NATO training they received from guys who were taught by guys who were in the sandbox.

>>63842518
> Let's stop with the "sacrifice" BS.
I meant it from their perspective - that's what they see it as.
To some extent I could see specifically this kind of maladaptation and subjecting themselves to being conditioned into lacking initiative as a sacrifice. But in case of specifically american vets it's a bit hard for me to justify personally because of the sheer scale of benefits they receive. GI bill education, free healthcare and a leg up in applying for work in the defense sector sure sounds like compensation enough for being effectively institutionalized for a few years.

>>63841218 (OP)
>who didn't deploy
It's honestly hilarious how seriously Afghanistan veterans take themselves. They have less combat experience in 9-12 month Afghanistan deployment than a Russian or Ukrainian conscript gets in 1 week.

>>63842465

>>63842539
You have to understand, the world has spent so long coping with American dominance by declaring everything "not a peer level threat" and fluffing Russia to be the turdie strongman of the week that to see them fail so spectacularly in Ukraine has mindbroken every armchair general on this site into thinking that cheap drone spam would be just as effective against America (ignore all the cheap drone spam in the gwot) as it is against Russia. Clearly, with all the experience Ivan is having getting his leg blown off by firecrackers strapped to airhogs helicopters has set him leagues beyond the humble American infantryman who only has experience fighting towelheads.

Everything about veterans is annoying. The only response is either
1. Ignore them
2. Shoot them (the only good vets are cops because they shoot vets)

>>63842397
>They're awkward and rigid in every way.
They're not innovators which is why they ran to Daddy govt to begin with. A tiresome group whose personal lives are nonstop chaos and that chaos bleeds in to everything else they do. Stop hiring them, they can hire each other (we all know how that eventually goes)

This is very funny to me because everyone goes out of their way to suck their dicks. They're the real group that gets affirmative action in America - free school, free healthcare, discounts, charities, special days, just general pats on the head. No one dares speak ill of OUR TROOPS in public. And yet, as a bloc, they're fucking losers.

>>63842617
I think completely wrong conclusions are being drawn from the drone stuff (by civvie armchair experts especially, but FWIW I am one of them).
Drone usage itself is nothing revolutionary. "4th generation ATGMs" being more universal loitering munitions was something foreseen in 2010s. Precision guided weaponry being more accessible (to the point where it doesn't have to be used only on HVTs like armor) was too.
What should be drawn is the understanding of how completely ridiculous and divorced from actual battlefield usage the defense procurement and design process is during peacetime. Wunderwaffe, unless it's WMD, does not matter if you do not have the ability to scale its production in the matter of days, regardless of how good it is. You may have a UFO-tier multirole aircraft or super ADS that can kill a fly from 300 meters, but if it takes you a week in a specialized laboratory to hand fabricate a single unit, it won't fucking matter. What matters is being able to field equipment en masse and replace it as it gets destroyed.

Then why didn't you volunteer and get all that shit then?

The advantages and benefits of being a veteran are very real yet 99% of the population still refuses to join. Why is that? We get benefits because SOMEONE has to serve, so that (You) and your children don't get drafted. If the benefits of military service were worth it then everyone would do it, but clearly something doesn't add up because the overwhelming majority of people are still too scared or too fat to join.

You complain about vets, but you never had skin in the game. You literally could have joined the fucking Air National Guard and been a forklift driver once a month and gotten all the benefits, but again you were too scared. Never forget that literal teenage girls had the balls to enlist and you didn't.

>>63842965
NTA but I agree with him. I was chubby (although looking who they take now, might have managed the test actually lmao) back when I was a teenager and joining the army was something generally not even discussed or seen as "a thing someone does" in my circles.
I'm better now and joining is actually the plan if my current career fails.

Most never saw combat. I have an ex-buddy who was signal. straight up was an IT guy who maintained the internet on Bagram and thinks hes the shit. Bought all these high end guns, gear, and suppressors. Whenever we would go camping he would try to act like he was some sort of survivalist expert. Would always be talking about Jordan Peterson or some other youtuber. The second no one paid attention to him he started maintaining bees and now is acting like he understands nature better than everyone and is a successful business man. Its almost sad.

If you want to actually protect our country, you should join the Coast Guard or Border Patrol/ICE. Otherwise you're just a welfare leech serving the interests of the neoliberal globalist empire. And yeah LARPing as an army man when you're a civilian is kinda gay but who cares? Everyone who comes out of the military does nothing but complain about how shitty it is, but then they look down on guys who didn't join in the first place because they knew it was shit.

This is unfortunately my experience as well, they all do the bare minimum, get out as fast as they can, then pretend they're Rambo.

Statistically speaking veterans have a higher employment rate than civilians. The butthurt anons are just mogged because they’re overly emotionally invested in their self-image of being a deadly combatant. Other men having more experience, especially when many are just average men with varying degrees of skill, is unbearable to them. They could take this as impetus for self-reflection (why are you comparing yourself to others? why does their experience make you feel invalidated?), but instead they feel the need to lash out and take them down a peg because they’re immature and emotional. The meme politics is just a tool to do this.

Delta, green beret, seals, and rangers are the only ones who are worth a damn.
If you're not apart of those, then you are goycattle to be killed for isreal.

I’ve got to be honest. Vets are just assholes for no good reason and it’s socially unacceptable to tell them to fuck off, so they just get worse and worse.

>>63846196
What an absolute pussy you are. If they're wrong, tell them they're wrong. Don't bottle it up and seethe and make resentful little copeposts on anonymous chinese cartoon boards.

>>63846119
Veterans having a higher employment rate than civies means nothing without greater context.
First off, to be a veteran in the first place, you have to be employable. That automatically filters out all of the retards, downies and spergs.
Second, to be a veteran, you have to have a minimum level of education, needing at least a GED, again filtering out a large number of underperformers.
Then the affirmative action needs to be taken into account; in the public sector there are employment quotas that favor veterans in the hiring queue, and private sector companies love using feel-good stories about hiring veterans as marketing material, so it's a shoe-in.
And then it's the GI bill that allows many veterans, who otherwise would not have, to complete degrees in higher education, such that they are disproportionately educated compared to the statistical average.

None of these are bad things, but notice I never had to fall back on "muh discipline" and "muh esprit de corps" to explain this situation; there are factors that control our lives to a far greater degree than we ourselves can control it.

>>63846312
Thanks for proving my point for me.

>>63846312
That's kind of the deal, they filter out lots of people before they even get there (drug convictions, other rap sheet items, way too fat, too dumb, no education, too many psych problems). Then they have to pass training, then they have to complete 3+ years of full-time work. Then they can go to college on a G.I. Bill. The government pays for it but they have to complete college on their own like anyone else. At this point they have a bachelor's degree and something on their resume other than "I got chlamydia at a music festival in college" or "I put the fries in the bag". That's not the definition of a loser. This puts them ahead of many people in America. You're implying this is some kind of DEI deal but someone who can complete 3-4 years of service and then 4 years of college is actually a better hire than many American workers.

Both false equivalence, it depends on who you know, many veterans hire other veterans just because they are veterans. The one hiring got his job because his dad knew a guy. Inverse for civilians, they defer to people that have an experience similar to them, being college of an apprenticeship. It really comes down to who you know a lot of the time.

>>63841218 (OP)
I have 12 years of service as a random defense civvie (HQ, Intel, armement), I used to work with and for SOF, and even if I've seen most of them disgusted and bored with military life (so they all left), I kinda feel I missed the truer thing and they did not. At least they have cool stories to tell, I just have moronic administrative and political stuff regular people are legit disgusted about (because it cost them money for nothing). Now 40yo, i'm still thinking how much I'd like some minimal cool infantry practicing just in case. And larping because why not. But it's milk under the bridge now.

>>63846527
Neither my boss nor my friend that connected me with him are veterans. Yes, having a network is valuable in getting your first job or getting a new job.

And if there is any collapse, it will be partial and temporary at the worst.
Preppers/teotwawki/doomers live in a Hollywood inspired fantasy land made up of cheesy survival tropes from movies and tv shows.

>If shit goes sideways

It won't. Just like it didn't for the guys who built nuclear shelters. Just like it didn't for the oil crisis. Just like it didn't for Y2K. Just like it didn't for 2012. The worst you've seen in your lifetime was Katrina

Enjoy your hobbies

I wish when people talked about starting a business they could give some ideas of what to do. Because I know a business is
>Figure out a service others need and sell for it
But that kind of predicates on having or knowing of services you can learn 'relatively' soon (IE not a 4 year program) to offer.

>I wish when people talked about starting a business they could give some ideas of what to do.
Buy a van/truck and start a junk hauling, moving, or landscaping business.
Get a vendor's license and buy bulk drinks and snacks and resell at a golf course, event parking lots, beaches, etc.
Start buying 2 of all the guns and/or parts you order (and whatever other hobbies you have) and resell on gb/ebay/amazon until you can expand and get a website.
Start an at home catering business if you can cook and expand into a restaurant eventually.
Get a guard card and start your own security patrolling service.
Once you have moderate stability and growth, hire employees and promote someone to manage them while you step further back from daily work and management.

None of these are guarantees, but all of them are feasibly achievable goals for someone who is at least moderately capable and self driven.
You don't have to succeed, you just have to be willing to try and fail until something works.

Yeah that's good advice. And I've found that to be the singular critical flaw of my and the zoomer's generation really - the fear of failure. Unironically we'd all be better off having the confidence of someone like Trump to just go
>Fuck you I'm a winner
Persistence. If I could go back in time and teach my past self anything it'd just be resilience.

Thanks anon

By the time I qualified I was burnt out and suicidal, accepted an offer to get out early (one month before the 3 year mark, which I feel was intentional to fuck me out of my good cookie and 10% of the GI Bill)

>What's with the GT hate in gun community?
lack of self awareness on his part i'd imagine.
>dude youre gonna die in da streets if you don't run XYZ!!!!11

>have we considered that our WROL scenario is silly and mostly not based in reality
at least this is what he used to come across like some years back and this seems to be the narrative touted by people who don't like him amidst other things like apparently cheating on his wife

>>63841921
>Regular infantry things just aren't applicable to civilians whose resources are tighter and very much finite.
the worst is people learning shit like trench raids because of ukraine
>>63841983
>The CQB larp is relevant to home defense
most of it is silly swat shit you'll never use though and lacks practicality for when someone tries to steal your flatscreen. Most of the CQB prepper shit is like for fighting off five guys with armored plates or team based.

what does this mean in this context?

I didn't even know Charlie served, let alone deployed, until watching this video. I don't check twitters or instas, I assumed he was a civilian. Maybe I missed the GT video where it's explained.

My guess is;
>GT cultivates following based on being super army soldier guy
>Charlie is known to viewers as goofy sidekick
>they're cool playing this duo, knowing privately what they both are
>audience reflects back this perception in their interactions with both
>it feeds GT's ego, affects his behavior outside YT, and fucks their personal dynamic
That's what I'm guessing happened, based on Charlie's deliberately more highbrow presentation these days.

>>63841218 (OP)
There is no gun community.
