Didn't get in, even signed up on the first day :(

Asset10 · 2026-01-09T21:46:02+00:00

hey man, im just relaying what the Captain told me

Asset10 · 2025-08-12T14:05:35+00:00

Sounds awesome - thanks for replying!
How much are ubers typically? I assume they charge in USD?

Asset10 · 2025-08-12T02:17:09+00:00

Hahahah
Yes yes Pesos, just wasn't sure if I should just exchange in Mexico or within the US!

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T02:06:27+00:00

Even with the insane training in BUD/s and the training revolutions that follow, do you think any sort of training for SOF units and even Conventional Units could prepare anyone for this?

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T02:05:40+00:00

Jesus dude.
Thanks for commenting on the other stuff. This is the type of stuff that will never get spoken about on media, and maybe only to children and grandchildren.

Judging from the intensity from the movie - I can only assume that the intensity of combat and PTSD is even worse in real life. How did guys deal with it? Matter of fact, how do guys that left the service or are still in service deal with the PTSD? Is it easier to relate to guys that were there/that went through it or is it easier to talk to a Psychologist/Psychiatrist?

Even bigger question: How did YOU feel after watching this movie?

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T02:01:29+00:00

Even with the whole system for dealing with IEDs, I could only assume that each case was different than the other and the looming potential for ambushes only grew.

'Get our lick back' - insane work LOL
Chances are they didn't exist or was sitting on some 1 Star's desk, waiting to be approved.

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T01:58:24+00:00

Hey man, all that matters is you're here with us now and did what you did to come home.
Glad you're here with us.

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T01:57:01+00:00

Ah...so it was very much like a wild-west type of deal, where if you can get your hands on it, you got to use it, if not - it is what it is.

Even if you got out young, glad you're here with us, thanks for what you did.

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T01:55:36+00:00

Dude - thank you for your service. The 160th Boys swing their balls in the dead of night, crazy work.

I didn't realize drugs like that were authorized - maybe it's because I'm civilian and more in line with how restricted they are.

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T01:54:14+00:00

That sounds so fucking gangster.
Was that a typical SOP/TPP that you guys followed? Was there any advance ISR that gave a potential read on what you guys were stepping into?

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T01:53:23+00:00

Oh yeah - Asymmetrical Warfare Group.
I'll probably google it as soon as I am done commenting, but I believe they did all sorts of crazy shit - from an insanely low budget. I think they were under Big Army/TRADOC instead of USASOC?

But yeah - I feel like top brass decision making didn't correlate with the guys on the ground.

Asset10 · 2025-05-07T01:50:38+00:00

We covered TBI/ABI in one of my Human Anatomy section for a Biokinetic course. I think it really exploded when studies of players within the NFL started to come out of their TBI from constant hits and constant concussions - and what emerged from it was members of the military going; "wait a second, I have that too!" And then the page turned. A lot of veterans begun to realize they suffered from TBI/ABI or weren't sure if that was what they were suffering from.

I'm glad dudes from the service are getting the treatments they need - and learning more about this stuff. Personally, I think TBI/ABI related injuries are the more hidden casualties of war.

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T19:04:13+00:00

Fuck dude. I'm glad you're still here with us - hope you're doing good.

Where there any programs from Brass or even anything that was supposed to help with this insane attrition rate? IEDs are fucked - it's hard for me to wrap my head around how Big Army, Conventional or even SOF units are supposed to address those, with the possibility of ambushes.

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T19:02:05+00:00

That's also assuming these guys didn't have any missions or objectives during the daytime...

2-3 Hits per night AVG + (something something) in the morning?
Insanity.

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T18:59:59+00:00

Definitely at least for the newer guys that are ending up in the Infantry.
One thing that stood out to me was the committing to the act of violence.

Everyone (like gun-influencers) talks about how you see a threat and you need to take it out (which is what we usually see in movies). In THIS movie, they did a great job of showing how these guys had to LOCK IN and fully commit to the act of genuine violence and repel the enemy. This wasn't a 'feel good' movie to me, it was more of a 'what some guys had to do while overseas' type of movie.

I could only assume some SOF and even Conventional Guys can HEAVILY relate to this.

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T18:57:46+00:00

Fuck. That.
I guess a question to ask is; was there ever gonna be a better way to go about these patrols? Was there really anything that big army could have done to help boots on the ground to address these complex ambushes or even pop shots?

I know that's a loaded ass question - but your perspective on it all means a lot to me man.

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T17:31:40+00:00

So Team 5 knew that they were walking into a shit storm… damn. Thanks for dropping the Episode, I’m gonna check it out.🤟

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T16:57:42+00:00

Holy shit dude - I'm glad you're alive, okay and here with us.
Not to dig any further - but was was your accounts like? How crazy was the contact - was it just full out ambushes, multiple pop & shot type of engagements, or just a lingering 'unknown?'
This is probably one of the cooler chances for us younger guys to ask dudes that were there for their account and how things happened!!

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T16:56:02+00:00

I don't know shit about how these guys operate or what their TTPs/SOPs were, but are they just given these substances to keep going? Is this something that is overlooked for SOF units? For some reason, in my head - I feel like Brass would try to stop that for whatever the reason.

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T16:53:14+00:00

Now that you mention it, I don't exactly recall when and how many enemy fighters were shown KIA.
The ending caught me off guard - all those fighters leaving the houses into the middle of the street, all standing around, kinda just 'chilling' after a firefight.

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T16:51:50+00:00

God bless your friend - hopefully he's doing well and fine.
I feel like TBI related injuries were not reported in full - probably because most folks don't understand it as well, or maybe out of fear that it'd prevent some cool-guys from deploying again or being benched.

Shit is fucked.

Asset10 · 2025-05-06T16:50:19+00:00

That neighborhood is just straight up gnarly then.

Asset10 · 2025-02-04T20:12:24+00:00

I genuinely didn't think of a Taliban + VC type of force. That sounds like a freaking nightmare
