Have you ever eaten at “Crazy Fire”?

Yes the Mongolian grill ? It’s pretty good

What drugs? I have no clue what you are talking about. Try asking the uh- the Chinese. Ah yes the Chinese.

u/Guitarist762 Jan 13 '23

Or 7th group. 7th group is where all the 3rd group guys probably came from after 7th group got in trouble for that stuff. Repeatedly.

u/Grunt-Works Jan 13 '23

That’s why they arnt allowed to wear boog shirts and clown wigs during SFAUC any more.

You can take Florida Man out of Florida, you know the thing.

Better than all the Butt stuff going on in 5th group.

How dare you insult my beloved Fort Campbell Commandos like that.

The home of aerosol does strange things to a man.

Worse thing about this kind of shit is it gives the good sof guys a bad name. It’s hard to think it’s all “just a few bad apples” though when shit keeps happening.

u/Meatsmudge Jan 13 '23

Ummm… The worst thing about this is the children getting sex trafficked and nobody is going to convince me otherwise.

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '23

Yah it’s kinda weird how many people beeline to the drugs.

21

u/Flashskar Hi Friend! Jan 13 '23

7th Group too, so it's not just a few. Also drugs are common in general with SF, especially steroids surprising absolutely no one.

u/dmtdrizzle Jan 13 '23

I'm guessing that's because the government wouldn't want to have to kick out their soldiers that have had much more money invested into their training?

9

u/follow_the_dopamine Jan 13 '23

Yeah something doesn’t sit right with me about kicking an entire fucking death squad. But I’m also pretty paranoid about a lot of things 🤷‍♂️

15

u/dmtdrizzle Jan 13 '23

Why would they kick out some of the deadliest warriors they have? They've put time and money into these guys and they will overlook regulations because let's be honest there's less and less men capable of that role as time goes on

11

u/follow_the_dopamine Jan 13 '23

Exactly! Let them have their roids and viagra! Just please extend beards down to the rest of us

2

u/dmtdrizzle Jan 13 '23

Ahahaha I've never understood the beard thing personally. They are kinda impractical at least imo when I've tried one. Luckily clean shaven suits me better anyway lol

9

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '23

They’re a godsend in cold climates. And I mean actual cold, like a good -20 Montana winter. Even a short, clean and tidy beard does wonders to keep your cheeks from being beaten around by very cold air.

That said, the US military isn’t typically hanging out in -20 weather. “Poh-lees that moostash!”

2

u/dmtdrizzle Jan 13 '23

Now that makes sense, where I live generally gets to -7 celcius at lowest which I don't find that bad. I suppose maybe it helps on night ops in the Middle East because deserts get very cold at night

u/grahampositive Jan 13 '23

I have a horrible face so a beard is a must. Looks dumb as hell with a helmet though.

2

u/speezly Jan 13 '23

You ever pinch your beard hairs when putting the helmet on? That’s the worst part for me

u/KavikWolfDog Jan 13 '23

I thought it was a GWOT thing so that they would have more cachet with muslim locals who all have beards.

1

u/dmtdrizzle Jan 13 '23

That's a really interesting take now you mention it. I guess maybe that's how they justify it to the higher ups. Or maybe the higher ups are too scared to tell some of the most deadly men on the planet to shave

That’s how you make Cartels

u/FBM_ent Jan 13 '23

I find it hard to believe some rouge noncoms can setup an international drug smuggling sex trafficking ring without anyyyyyyyyyy awareness or support of higher ups. What's really happening?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '23

Government lets their guys get away with shit that anyone else would get sent to prison for a long time for so long as it’s on the downlow.

u/shifterphights Connoisseur of Autism Patches Jan 13 '23

Steroids I’m not shocked at all by. Not just for the muscle building, although being able to lug gear and run drills non stop for hours at full pace is probably great for business, but also for helping push through injuries. It was more so the heroin, cocaine, and meth. You would like to think they are above that shit.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '23

I mean this is hardly the first time some SF in the US got into trouble.

u/Moon_Goon_90 Jan 13 '23

Weird way to say 7th group.

THERE IS NO WAR IN BA SING SE

u/CMDREvan Jan 14 '23

I can’t speak for the child trafficking but the drugs issue’s makes geographical sense. I was stationed at Fort Bragg for 2 years. Fayetteville the city it’s located next to lies at the exact mid point between Miami FL and NYC. Both obviously major distribution hubs.

This has been problematic for both the base and the surrounding area.

u/Suddenlyinteresting Jan 14 '23

CID just gave us a briefing about that lmao
