Training based on British SAS techniques taught to the yanks, thank god for the Brits!

They were good shots, and now all these boats should have their own fully armed security and top technology radar with quick launch attack dingi's. The oil companies and merchant companies are rich enough.

Why is it that all countries feel the need to say that taught something to the United States? If its not the Brits, its the Israeli saying their military is the only reason ours is any good against terrorist. Or the French. If something gets old, it is sure as hell this line of rhetoric from the high rollers of the world. :rolleyes:

3 snipers shooting at the same time each on a different target from boat to boat. fucken awsome. bad ass mother fucken seals.

all i am saying is, if frank was sent to make the shot, we would be talking about a dead hostage right now.. :D

i understand what you read in my post but i didn't mean it like that. i was more talking about the fact that in war, many times you don't have time to think, you simply react. your mind can fuck you up big time, if you have days and days to watch something on the news, think about it etc... it adds a level of anxiety and nervousness that you wouldn't see in an average war zone leading up to that shot.

none of us, not even those in the military have been in that exact situation so when someone tries to speak for them and say it was nothing... who are they to say so?

Life is varying in it's degrees in that way, but as a general rule one naval offcer taking about another naval officer is much more similar than any non-military personel talking about it, regardless of how good a shot he or she may be. Keep that in mind, I would assume new military training includes news media coverage tactics, or better yet the complete neglect thereof. The worlds eyes can watch war where they so desire. There is no means for any military personel to feel I this situation that they can be portrayed negatively. I highly doubt the marksmen sent to killthose mfing pirates was a novice or even concerned he wouldn't make the shot. I would rather assume, from the reading/research I have done, he was more concerned with what he was going to eat at chow time. I think that was franks point, farbeit for me to imply though. :)

I know how to quote so read the post again and think about your post and how you sounded in it. It reminds me of smart ass remark made by me, hdnce the quote. I would tell you to think about the pressures a military officer faces, as you have not been there either. I wasn't poking fun at anyone on the forum more than myself, because it read like something a know-it-all would say. And I. Reference to your comment about the marines: (in a brian tone)

Now that I am off probation I am free to do what I please and since I have made a turn around in my athletic ability I may yet still join the military or I may not. However my inability to make a personal life decision doesn't seem like it should be any more your concern than how ill worded you rhetoric was.

I still think you're a great guy though. No one more fun to joke arond with, you just need to remember who the target of my jokes mainly is.

learn how to quote first before you come at me. and dont come in and talk about something like you have been there. you and the word "marine" should not be in the same sentence.

i was referring to the pressure of the worlds eye and the circumstances of which these seals were under. i understand war and killing someone is pressure in and of itself.

you calling people bitch? come on dude, you are the definition.

in a stewie voice from family guy "hows that joining the marines thing going... you ummm taking your time on that one.... you need to think it over a little more do you... you waiting for a better time.... maybe when the war is over....."

LOL.

Hahahhahahahhahaha. It's like somethng out of a mirror universe where bouncer is as much a bitch as some other people here. I really hope this was as sarcastic intending as how I read it, because if it wasn't you need to take a step away from the computer and think about how you worded this. Hahhahahaha

I don't know if frank has ever been in military combat, but I would assume if he has, as a soldier he know the pressure of trying to keep someone alive. But frank the marines have never, and will never, be as recognized as seals or even possibly rangers because they are the under dogs of the us military.

what your forgetting frank is the pressure they were under. you may be able to make the shot but you gotta think about the mental aspect. these seals knew a mans life was on the line if they missed, they knew the world was watching.

Your right. You would know more than me.

you are kind of a douche bag aren't you. just admit to the fact that you are envious of the seals. your attempt to prove that you are just as good as them has failed. aim the sights at yourself and pull the trigger playboy..

[FrankTheTank55]

All this arguing back and forth. WTF?

they did a good job taking out the bad guys, i applaud them.

I dont think I was arguing with anyone. I was just stating facts from experience. And like I said many time yes they did a good job and I applaud them too.
