Yeah a pretty decent number of SEALS are former USMC. The USMC is a division of the Navy... It's not like it's a derogatory statement toward the Navy.

Yeah, and you're like 15 years old and Canadian.. Which makes you less than an authority on this sort of thing.


I hope you were being sarcastic because if you weren't, it's a well known fact in the military world that JTF 2 is one of the most lethal task force's in the world. Unless of course you were being sarcastic and pretending to be that uneducated.

I suggest you be American and learn everything you can about war, it is what you guys are best at. Sometimes.

I'm suggesting that Elite Warrior doesn't know **** about the American military due to the fact that he's an idiot and happens to be Canadian. The Canadian part isn't really the defining factor. Note that I didn't also tell Jon`C to shut his Canadian mouth.

Actually turned out to be some random and unsubstantiated quote form someone else, though verifiable reference was made to "SEALs riding their reputation" and "most specops are really overrated...except SAS".

The whole discussion was kicked off by:

Well then, you are excused Antony ;)

I was just saying that is how I rank them based upon my knowledge and perceptions of them. What I didn't say was that I was right, or that it was some sort of definitive list of the effectiveness of our various branches of military. I didn't say I know the most about the military either. When did I say that? You think that because my screenname is Elite Warrior that I think I know more about the military automatically, when in reality it was just my callsign in a game called Delta Force: Land Warrior that I carried over to these forums. Nothing more.
On that same note I do have decent knowledge about each branch of the military (save the Navy) because up until a year ago I was slated to enlist in the Marine Corps, and I had researched the Air Force, Army, and Marines extensively before I made my decision. I ultimately decided to do a year of college before I did enlist, just to make sure I wasn't making the wrong decision. Right now I'm considering either doing one of the branches ROTC programs, or just quitting college and joining full time before next fall.
Antony: I'm older than you, I'm from the United States, and you're a misinformed douchebag. When I posted on this thread I didn't expect to be jumped on and ridiculed for giving my opinion, and I find it really sad that alot of so-called 'respected' members would do so just for the mere novelty of doing it.

P.s. suck a choad.

So you are not, in fact, Canadian.

Bingo.
2010-04-26, 8:32 PM #90
Wait... how do you know you're older than I am?

And please do join the Marines. I will search you out and become your platoon commander.

Also, feel free to come into the chat and we can discuss this in real time.

You're not an elite enough warrior to command the ELITE WARRIOR.

That's very true. The Uniform Code of Military Justice makes exceptions for the chain of command involving people as badass as him.

No no, I'm not making fun of ELITE WARRIOR. I just think his internet name is funny. Maybe it's the capslock or something, I dunno.

Non-ironic use of allcaps online names is pretty hilariously bad.

Trust me: nobody ascribes any positive attributes to your nickname.

The funny part is he wants to quit college all together to join the service, when a college degree pays off so much in the service it's ****ing ridiculous.

I don't know about that, Antony. Think about it: ELITE WARRIOR is a confused young man who doesn't really know what he wants to do with his life, probably only going to school for want of structure or direction. What major do you think he took? Communications? English? Hell, he could be open studies.

ELITE WARRIOR will make a good bullet magnet, degree or none.
2010-04-27, 4:59 AM #98
That's true. Though it doesn't really make any difference what course of study you took... just so long as you have a bachelor's degree and you're not a moron, you can be an officer provided you can hack OCS.

I think we've gone a little above his pay grade with these requirements.
