Protip: when taking a (service official) moto pic, make sure your optic isn't on backwards. D'oh!
It's probably someone who used to be with 3rd Group.
I’ll just say it’s not the only time I’ve seen things ripped off nazi imagery contorted to team patches. The public won’t believe the reasons. Everyone will think that these guys are nazi backers when actually they just thought the imagery looked cool. Bad optics, especially for. Regiment of cultural experts…Side note SF used to be the quite professionals now the groups do daily Instagram posts.
I wonder how much of the public knows that an SS officer is buried in Arlington.
Throne is a legend, his life story is amazing.
Dude must've really, really hated communists.
I'm not sure why the U.S. Navy is covering this up instead of conducting an investigation and throwing a few of these guys in prison. A few bad apples as usual. The majority of SEALs are a good, hardworking, honorable members of the U.S. military. I'm sure many are extremely angry at these incidents as reflected by the guy in the original video. The U.S. Army and Marines too have their fair share of 'fuckups' who ruin the reputation of the group. The movie 'Lone Survival' was partially a big lie. There were roughly only 25 Taliban engaging the SEALs in a firefight (not 200+) and no record of any of them being killed. They knew where the SEALs were located prior to the 'goats' incident. The helicopter gave away the position the night before. Lattrell was found to have all his 11 rifle magazines fully loaded. I don't think he fired a single shot during the battle. Claimed Matthew Axelson was dead when he (Lattrell) was found when in fact Axelson was alive for days after the incident. Axelson's body was found 8 days after the incident, but he was only dead for 48 hours. Chris Kyle turned out to be a piece-of-shit who killed innocent civilians to increase his kill count as a sniper. U.S. Army Special Forces Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar was killed by members of SEAL Team 6 in 2017 (Africa) to cover up how the SEALs were stealing government money (U.S. Dollars) -- stolen cash earmarked for paying local informants.
That part was an assumption printed early on, unfortunately, it’s not true. The real reason is simply the SEALs did not like him, he didn’t drink, or party thus he was ostracized. The seals were also joined by 2 marsoc marines in their assault on him. Seals remain supported because of their myth, when one digs to the facts… rangers are superior in almost every way. If they dove they’d be better there too.
If you take out the female Rangers and Rangers at the grade of E-4 (Corporal) and below in the Battalions. Many of those soldiers are too young, immature, stupid and inexperienced. Some will mature with time and experience if they stay with unit for a couple of years. It takes time to become a good NCO (leader) and the turnover for lower enlisted in the Battalions is currently on the high side. You know from experience the toll time can take on your body, mind, and marriage. SSG Melgar was a good soldier. To be killed the way he was killed is just a sad chapter in the SOF community.
National Guard?
I think the only requirement is being tabbed. It may have started out as only for batt boys but as far back as least 1994 it's been open to all soldiers because two dudes with the 82nd won it that year.
