What I’m hearing is that they’re identifying themselves as legitimate military targets.
Ooooh nooo I sure hop e Iran doesnot assassinate our beloved Lt. Colonel Andrew Bosworth, Lt. Colonel Kevin Weil, Lt. Colonel Shyam Sankar, or even Lt. Colonel Bob McGrew
gosh those guys together getting got would be bigger than if Spongebob or Spiderman disappeared from movies and television
Bob McGrew
😂 I swore you started with real ass names and ended with a joke one, but no, he’s really called that.
Bobson Dougnut ass name, made all the more magical for being real.
getting fragged by the 20 year veterans under their commandMan we really speeding into fascism uplifting incompetent bourgeoisie into positions of power they really aren’t qualified for
Honestly this is kinda funny, it’s a real collapse of empire move
Yup and ngl I’m happy to see incompetent undertrained morons lifted to positions of power compared to competent evil fash or some rando centrist bootlicker given these doofuses have a high chance of either being fragged or leading an operation to be completely FUBAR

Ooh I remember when this idea was first being bandied about. It’s related to their recruitment issues - high ranking military members are traditionally in the service for a decade or more, and there aren’t as many people like that as there used to be, so the idea is to bring in people from the private sector and let them skip ahead to higher ranks.
The troops hate it of course, and I can’t imagine it’s a good idea to fluff the ranks of your military with people who lack military experience.
??? we’re going back to feckless aristocrats with no training being in charge of the military? amazing.
Can’t wait to be ordered to bayonet charge by some foppish dandy in a frock coat with frills on the cuffs only to watch him immediately get vaporized by the Gen Alpha maoist shitposter that got drafted and issued a particle beam cannon.
I mean it makes radicalizing baseline troops easier if they are putting paper tigers in charge and they send troops on fubar missions
First time as tragedy, second time as farce as usual.

miserable stormtroopers with incompetent leaders
Even TERF island figured out this was a bad idea by 1871
Silly USA oligarchy, they didnt learn from the Alien vs predator universe that you are supposed to keep the gov looking semi independent so people think its a democracy and not under control by a megacorp

:gif of Ripley making the “I thought we had a deal” face right before she barbecues the xenomorph crèche:
CEO of TormentNexus Inc going through basic and having their M7 immediately blow up in their face like Elmer Fudd’s gun when Bugs Bunny sticks his finger in the end of the barrel
Send their asses to the war in Iran then
