+ no one is happy at the loss of life or the abysmal performance of the world’s 5th largest economy’s military elite
but let’s not descend to the point where we belittle the sacrifices of these young men. It takes unbelievable balls and conviction to get to their point. They weren’t just gunslingers, they were selected to be assault forces, they ran 100s of KMs, stood on the edge of aircraft and plunged out, did unimaginably rigorous physical training and ultimately volunteered every step along The way to the point that led them to get up that morning, put on their equipment and head out to fight a foe they would likely never even see
None of this is trivial stuff, these guys are the 0.1% of the human population- the unique blend of natural ability, willingness and courage is not something any of us should dare belittle.
They are out there doing the thing, we would like them to be safer and more effective, that’s it.
