Sounds like every group of males in any setting starting in about 5th grade.

If she wants to hear some real swearing in the workplace, she should visit any armor battalion’s motor pool during gunnery prep. And to top that, go visit the wash rack when they’re coming in from the field. Or, the ultimate, the rail yard when they’re railheading to Graf.

So they’re operators?

Look up how the Brit government treated Obi Wan Nairobi for saving over 700 lives during the terrorist attack in Kenya. Disgusting.

Why would an op in Mexico against the cartels be ANY different?

Their “inferior” opponent had an overwhelming advantage of manpower and was infinitely supported financially and militaril
Again, the same scenario with teh cartels in Mexico

This is a perfect example of why so many military guys have a hard time getting back to civilian life.
Can’t make race or sex jokes, cant cuss much at work, definitely don’t have empathy when you get out, etc

No shite? You train people to be hardened killers and then are shocked when they don't act like passive dandies?
Anyone who is so clueless as to have that sort of opinion needs to be blocked out of the conversation.

The obvious answer to the question “what would be different?” is the objective, scale, and support.
Rhodesia was trying to sustain and ultimately win an entire national war while isolated and sanctioned. You’re talking about a few elite teams conducting limited operations with full U.S. intelligence and logistical support.
You said they could do “serious damage,” not that 15 men could permanently eliminate every cartel in Mexico. He’s arguing against a claim you never made.

And there is the pivot

Quoting the exact claim from the original post is now a “pivot.” Never change, SFP.

You're telling him that he needs to make the point he tried to make much smaller for it to make sense, by redefining "serious damage" into something more akin to "damage they may not even notice"

Where exactly did I redefine “serious damage” as damage they might not notice? Quote it.
There’s an enormous amount of ground between permanently eliminating every cartel and causing insignificant damage. That middle ground is where “serious damage” has been sitting since the original post.
You misunderstood the claim, called its exact wording a pivot, and now you’re inventing a new definition that nobody used. Impressive sequence, even for you.

Great movie I apparently missed about them on Hulu or netflix. Ungentlemenly war or some shite like that. It’s very good

You tried to redefine it for him with this

Did you not?
quote:

Who argued this? I didn't. This is what I said
quote:
Yes the group that lost the war against the inferior opponent compared to the cartel would certainly do damage to the cartel
My comment didn't even require "serious" damage.
Nor did it in any way insinuate it would "permanently eliminate ever cartel". That's your straw man.

I watched some of the bbc show about Paddy Mayne and the sas in ww2. Yes. Yes they do.
