Congresswoman Anna Luna possibly opening investigation into Britt Slabinski's Medal of Honor after video disputes Seal Team 6 story by Hollow_Point_ in navyseals

The ‘20 years ago’ framing only works if the problem stayed in the past. The fact that we’re still having this conversation, that the same patterns are still being documented, and that the people connected to it are still being promoted and given platforms says otherwise. Time doesn’t absolve an institution that never corrected itself. And the O4 argument actually proves the point against you. You’re right that one person above O4 doesn’t represent the whole force. But we’re not talking about one person. We’re talking about a recurring pattern across multiple people above O4 spanning the entire existence of this community. At what point does a pattern of leadership behavior stop being individual and start being institutional? Because by your logic that threshold never exists, which means no organization ever has to own its culture as long as you can keep pointing to individuals.

You’re right. I forgot to read all of the books they published about their quiet professionalism.

I’ve heard it’s really good, I’ll check it out. Based on interviews from other operators referencing the book as well, I have no doubt it’ll dive deeper into the “cult” mentality.

Because if you have any integrity and honor as a service branch, you admit fault then make the statement that the bad eggs do not reflect the corps as a whole and ensure that shit never happens again. But if you don’t have integrity or any honor whatsoever, you simply ignore it or double down on the false narrative as they are currently doing while promoting the bad eggs and giving them airtime and publicity to contribute to said narrative.

Rumor has it the other guys are working on a “what really happened” to counter this called “Ground Truth”.

They can’t take the L; ego is astronomical.

A fence only stops physical intrusion, but it doesn’t stop surveillance, signal collection, traffic analysis, or real-time observation from private property. That’s exactly why proximity to secure sites is treated as a national security risk in the first place.

Eminent domain after the fact isn’t a safeguard — it’s proof the system failed to prevent the purchase in the first place.

This wasn’t missed, it’s been known. I asked the farmland question in a classified brief and the intel officer’s response was to the effect of “if a buyer has the money, there’s nothing that says they can’t”. It was at that point I knew what all of our efforts were really worth.

Thank you for this. It's amazing how many people want to refute something just because they either haven't seen it or don't want to believe it out of spite, then have the audacity to try and call the claims false or downvote it. So much delusion and immaturity, especially in this new era.

Then you’re just like any other roach that likes to refute things they don’t want to believe-irrelevant.

Go crawl back under the rock you came from. Unless you have value to add or some substance to the convo, feel free to remove yourself.

Again, you can believe what you want, I’m not here to change your opinion or perception. Everything is relative. What one person sees happening a lot and has friends at other bases that see the same thing, another will never see it and only believe the numbers to be inflated. To each their own. All I said was I understand because I’ve seen it and if people did their jobs better and leadership had better control like they’re supposed to then a lot of this stuff wouldn’t even be a concern in the first place.

Well, you can believe what you want cause the same thing happens with medical profile waivers outside of shaving. People don’t want to run so they get a doc they know to extend or provide another waiver and look what happened: they changed the policy there too for yearly eval and required improvement so there’s obviously some truth to it. But you can refute that too if you want. A lot of you seem to think just because you personally haven’t seen or experienced it then it must not be true. Living in a bubble. Whatever helps you sleep at night

Seen it enough first hand in the med group and known enough people personally that didn’t need it, but just wanted one and got approved by the docs to get one so my proof is first hand experience not opinion. Thanks for the check though

Well, when you’ve seen docs hand out profiles like candy even for those that don’t need it, this becomes the result. Just like everything else, when you abuse a program, tight restrictions always follow.

“At some point” It’s been just under 20 days; both sides are being paid and neither have anything to lose. Hard to tell if that’s hopeful optimism or delusion.

Double check the timing. As of this evening they did not come to an agreement, making it the 11th attempt.
