Veteran here. What often happens is some officer lucks out and is assigned to a good unit with competent leadership. The senior officers of the unit rightfully get promoted and the retard officer simply rises in the ranks because of the vacuum. Then he either lucks out again with his subordinates keep him from totally fucking up resulting in yet another promotion or he royally fucks up so bad that brass actually does something about it.

I HEAR GODFATHER HISSELF SAY...YOU LOOK LIKE A BUM
>I LOVE YOU FRUITY RUDI
I love how Rudi was slowly revealed to be just as unhinged as the rest of them. Not that gay people can't be insane, but he seemed to be your typical sweet and sensitive, slightly aloof and loner-ish gay guy. Then it turns out that he's a complete alpha jock and wants to senselessly murder as much as the other guys around him do.

You might be a "veteran", but youre wrong.
The real answer is that during peacetime officers get promote due to following rules, whereas in wartime officers get promoted due to combat achievements.
During the illegal conquest of Iraq, the US had been in peacetime for a while and the war in Afghanistan was more a counter-insurgency than a conventional war.
tl;dr Peace makes shitty officers for war

He appears rather well-adjusted irl. Also you are aware that wasn't an actor right? That was actually Rudy Reyes.
>>86701874
But what if backing down to threats is what will start a war and a "pissing match" is the only method to delay inevitably the "war" that you're so afraid of? i'm no military genious but i don't think ur a expat urself
>>86701938
Rudy was well adjusted all the way through. Ray just went full beta nerdrage on him over a clean tackle

What the fuck are you smoking? North Korea has talked shit for decades because that's what they do. By threatening them in return, the US needs to make good on its threats or it loses credibility. Obama got enough shit for not following through on his red line in Syria, but at least the Syrians quickly agreed to and followed through with destroying their chemical stockpiles. If Trump doesn't back up his threats nations would taken him even less seriously than they already do.

you have no idea what you're talking about

Some people can do exceptionally well in training/on paper, then crack under pressure at the first glance with mortality
You don't know which one you're going to be until you're already there

>Syrians quickly agreed to and followed through with destroying their chemical stockpiles
>Actually thinks they destroyed all of it
Nigga u dumb.
>oh but u just want to invade Syria like in Iraq
I'm pro Assad, and I'd never believe him to be stupid enough to toss all of his chemical stockpiles.
>>86702371
>all of it
Never said that. They destroyed enough so that it didn't make America look completely dickless.

A lot of them were career officers who had no real combat experience. Not to mention that this was the first time any of them had operated as a battalion so that didn't exactly help either.

I was under the impression that he wasn't gay but rather metrosexual type. Also he didn't appear to feel great about sniping the RPG team.

exactly this. recon marines are basically special forces that don't operate in the field with their commanding officers directly overseeing their actions. it was like working in a store when your corporate bosses show up to supervise on the floor and pitch in to help. the troops were being micromanaged by ill-equipped, inexperienced desk jockeys. i mean, godfather was a fucking parade commander (as in literally leading parades as his job) before getting into the leadership of first recon
