What the fuck would YOU know about Special Forces tactics and training? Your ignorant advice is wanted by no one, least of all the US military.
YOu mean other than being in the Army for 11 years? And having served with a number of special forces guys? (As well as Airborne, Air Assault, Pathfinders and Rangers).
Here's the thing. I worry less about the small numbers of "Elite" units and worry a lot more that we are asking an increasingly small army to do more and more.
When I was in, the Army had 16 Active Duty divisions and 10 more in reserve.
Today we can maybe field 8, but we've got small detachments all over the world...
Kind of see the problem here....
Now, a lot of you guys forget what the main function of Special Forces is... it is to go into a country and train the locals on how to fight. This means that there are a lot of skills, such as language or technical skills, where a woman who maybe can't do as many pushups as a dude might still be a lot more qualified.
So are you in favor of a lot larger military- but one which is less technically advanced?
WHOOOOOSH!I heard they are accepting people with bone spurs!
Really? I guess the military must have gotten rid of long marches as part of their training.
Probably part of the ADA, Americans with Disabilities Act.
If we had to do a D-Day style invasion nowadays, we'd have men on wheelchairs, men with seeing eye dogs and men with helper monkeys coming off of the landing boats to make it to the beach.

I don't believe you. We do waste money. I got family members who in training during the Obama years almost died from second hand and rundown equipment. Ph uk You.I guarantee you more men will associate with other men of the same talent level. Obviously you never put your life on the line and depended on someone else to be there. This is not TV. Our two main threats are China and Russia. They don't play that game.
Was in the Army for 11 years... maybe you should shut up.
Reality check, our biggest problem is that we waste huge amounts of money on fancy toys and don't put the money in where we should put it.
Russia and China? We couldn't beat Iraq and Afghanistan.

Does having fake bone spurs hurt with a long march?
Many real disabled Americans would gladly volunteer. Trump, not so much.
Being a grunt in the army doesnt mean you are qualified as an expert in military tactics and training.

The military doesn't take you if you are disabled with bone spurs.
The allegation that the Trump Family podiatrist was a Criminal who wrote up phony documents for bribes is something which hasn't been proven yet.
If this story is true, it's just another example of an institution bowing to pressure from the hardcore Left to lower standards for one of their pet Oppressed Groups.
This has been happening for decades. It's much easier to lower standards than to maintain them in the heat of cultural pressure from victim groups.
And as we continue to lower standards -- and it can be education, military, business, entertainment, politics, whatever -- we'll continue to decay.
Being a grunt in the army doesnt mean you are qualified as an expert in military tactics and training.
No.
Being a non-commissioned officer trained in how to train other soldiers and lead them does...
Oh,wait. I totally did that.
Right......that is as likely as your plastic girlfriend being a real girl...
The fact is, he DID get deferments.. So did most of the other Republican Chickenhawks who were happy to send other people's kids to Vietnam.

The world`s priciest military was useless on 9-11 when we were beaten by people using $6 box cutters. Couldn`t do shit for the people in Walmart, schools, movie theaters, synagogues, etc. who left in body bags.I guarantee you more men will associate with other men of the same talent level.

It wasn't buying run down equipment. It wasn't getting any new equipment. Everyday stuff is important. From trucks to helicopters. And new transport and/or completely refurbished planes. You do not need the most cutting edge technology that is ten years away when you make these products.I don't believe you. We do waste money. I got family members who in training during the Obama years almost died from second hand and rundown equipment. Ph uk You.
Okay... and who bought that run down equipment that didn't work? Who saw Iraq as a "let's make huge amounts of money selling faulty equipment and giving money to Mercenaries like Eric Prince"
Don't spend too much time on it, you might burn out your little brain.

We're too busy investigating the crimes Trump is committing now to worry about the crimes he committed 50 years ago.

This is where PC bullshit threatens national security. Cultural communism strikes again.
Changes to grueling Special Forces course draw scrutiny, there’s ‘balancing act’
Sure, Trump got deferments. But that doesn't mean they weren't legitimate.
You are the one suggesting that the Trump podiatrist was a Criminal and a Quack, providing false documents for bribes, without a shred of proof.
Not with the politicians pulling the strings.
The armed forces are capable, they just need the nerds on the Hill to get out of the way.
