The SEAL community seems to have shifted quite a bit from its past desire to remain out of the spotlight. There was some documentary that had guys saying in the 80's a SEAL wouldn't let you take his photograph. Then you have guys like Dick Marcinko writing books, fitness "celebrity" using their status to sell products, more authors, even a movie with active duty guys in it. This seems a lot less common in the SF/Recon (Garm aside)/PJ communities.Shapecharge wrote:Maybe we've been through this before and I forgot. I don't expect this to go over with the crowd but I'm interested in the IGx opinion. That SEAL sniper dude with the book that just came out with 150 "confirmed" kills was on the front page of the Star-Telegram today. Frankly I couldn't get all the way through the article but I have some deep-seated personal issues with these guys which may have something to do with that. But it's the sniping thing that is my real issue. I can't wrap my head around telling every fucking person that has ears to listen and eyes to see that I've shot and killed 150 people. I don't care who they were or what the situation may be. And if there were 150 "confirmed" it's reasonable to assume there's plenty of more wounded or dead unconfirmed. What's the motivation behind this? Certainly there are people in this world that need killing but the glorification of the act itself seems somewhat outlandish to me. And the same goes for the "longest kill" stuff. Those acts to me would seem to be intensely private and personal and not for open discussion. Let's not discount the fact that I'm on my period right now and I'm very emotional.

One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

What they buy/bought depends on age and previous experiences.Which seems pretty obvious.

My grandfather refused to buy Japanese cars. I thought it was a bit much. He said that Mitsubishi tried to kill him for the better part of five years. It was sort of understandable.
