I get the distinct impression you don’t believe Sgt. Bradley Kasal really exists; you think he’s a character in a movie or a video game.
You don’t believe he could have 50 entry wounds, and an unknown number of exit wounds, and not be “Dead Right There”.
You don’t want to admit that fighting a war can be absolutely barbaric, unspeakably ghastly, unlike the videos you see on CNN.
Rangers (and the other special-ops units) have to be able to operate absolutely flat-out for an extended period of time, because anything less guarantees catastrophic destruction of the entire unit, with unknown cascading effects (For want of a nail, the shoe was lost...). By “absolutely flat out” I mean “beyond the capabilities of any woman on the planet, except maybe the genetic mutant steroid-marinated women of the East German swim teams”.
You don’t want to admit all that because once you do you also have to admit that Ranger school is not just the initiation rite to a really cool, exclusive club, and that women have no place in it.
And the idea of admitting that curdles the very marrow of your bones.
I just said - why don’t people read???? - there have been cases where pictures and captions just didn’t match up. Okay??????? The media is wrong so many times in their stories like you wouldn’t believe. So you’re the type to believe everything the first time without checking it out??? Like maybe that Trayvon Martin case???
Ping.
Well put sir!
