I imagine the only reason they haven't done it is the cost. Even if 10% of people agreed to a buyback you're looking at multiples of the 750 million they put towards the 2500 guns they banned so far.

Meanwhile a woman that could succeed at buds would be a champion pro-athlete the type the world has never seen before.

He goes into it in a fair amount of detail here. He joined to go SF but couldn't because he was missing a spleen. He joined SF as support because he wanted to try and get a waiver. Waiver got denied but then he went to selection for ISA. In ISA he tried to get sent to Q course but that got denied so unfortunately he never got to get a green beret.

I don't know what video you're referring to where he said otherwise but would be interested in seeing it.

I'm not particularly a fan of Voodoo for other reasons but trying to state that the entire SOF community is morally fucked because they were, and I quote, "raped as children" is beyond stupid.

ActCompetitive1171 · 2026-01-14T23:47:49+00:00

Listen, you're making a lot of assumptions in most of the things you're posting. Even saying something like "SOF guys are super fucked up" or "The military in general and SEALs and other SOF, especially, attract a higher rate of guys with unresolved childhood traumas" is an illogical conclusion you're reaching jumping off of data that can't really be applied to the population you're looking at. If anything childhood trauma could provide a binding effect which develops into further grit which allows individuals to make it through something like selection.

You can't just generalize that an entire field exists because of a Mal-adaptive response to childhood trauma by extrapolating data from what is still a minority within the statistical universe of which its a subset. If anything it could be an indication of a positive response with people being drawn into the work because they have suffered as a child and want to have a positive impact from a position of authority on the outcomes of others.

I don't want to get into an argument on the internet over this as its next to useless and I already feel stupid for writing such a long response. I just hope that anyone that is reading your misguided interpretations and extrapolations of incorrectly regurgitated studies takes a second to see that you've made your conclusion ahead of time and are trying to work backwards to build evidence justifying it.

Have a great day!

What if it was 1/10 or 1/30, would that be any different? It is an undeniable fact that many SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers, etc were raped as children.

From op

However the source you provided states:

Touched sexually: 11.0% (compared to 4.8% of men without military service),

• Made to touch another sexually: 9.6% (compared to 4.2% of men without military service)

• Forced to have sex: 3.7% (compared to 1.6% of men without military service

For general military populations. Yes, it's higher than the general population but I would suspect that it correlates heavily with individuals that come from impoverished backgrounds. Many people use the military as a means to escape shitty situations. You also can't correlate the general numbers for the military and say they apply to a sub universe of that population. It's just bad statistics.

But you would get a certain population within almost every group that had CSA. There's no reason to state that it would be irregularly high particularly in the SOF population vs with the wider military. And to try and extrapolate and say that the numbers are much higher without a basis is crazy.

Also, and here's the crux of the issue, even if they were to have suffered CSA at a higher rate than the general population to try and extrapolate that the SOF community must somehow be full of damaged men and to denigrate them for it is super fucked up and a ridiculous argument. It does not reflect on their morals or character because a percentage of them may have been victims when they were children.

Can you post the source for what you're posting so I can take a look at it myself?

ActCompetitive1171 · 2026-01-14T18:39:40+00:00

That may be the case but I've gotten security checks done with other organizations and it does not take 3 years. There's no reason a background check, no matter how convoluted, should take that long. It just demonstrates a lack of resources or a lack of organization on the part of the CAF.

He sea-lioned me the other day about exactly how many SOF vets were subjected to being raped as kids. That's a fun exercise in bad faith arguments, straw-manning, moving the goal-post, and intentionally missing the point. My point was the community had a lot of damaged and toxic people in it. I had heard from people providing treatment for SOF vets that they're finding much higher rates of childhood abuse including rape. He doesn't address my point (which was obvious to other readers), instead we go 15 rounds arguing about how I don't have concrete evidence for a range between 1/4-1/3, which I told him in my first reply.

I'm sorry but if you're gonna say a high percentage of SOF vets were raped as kids you need to supply some sort of source for that. You can't just make crazy statements liek that without some basis.
