all these requirements are literally because they're a smaller force with less money

Other SOF units will try to do meme stuff like being nice to locals or trying to hide and maintain a low profile, whereas marsoc will just remove the entire village if necessary. This shows an actual commitment to the mission beyond politics
Dylan Long
>whereas marsoc will just remove the entire village if necessary Sounds like A grade bullshit to me
Jaxon Martinez
>>Almost always wear helmets because it isn't a twitter selfie force nice bait using a pic of them without helmet. Too bad they arent SOF, I can however appreciate their love for Woodland and lv-mbavs
Blake Hernandez
well its a summer-thread on Jow Forums, the bullshit-meter is already past max
David Roberts
you're an idiot
Aaron Flores
>puke berets care about local politics >Virgin seals try to call off mission when they are spotted >meanwhile marsoc simply contacts right when they see a village nearbye and summons all ordinance Prove me wrong if you dare. The truth is politics bounce between players like Saudi Arabia/Iran and locals only care about who is buying goods that week.
Juan Sanders
>Physically incapable of losing a firefight Okay bitch boy. You're officially retarded.
David Martin
Seal detected
Brandon Reed
>meanwhile marsoc simply contacts right when they see a village nearbye and summons all ordinance Ah so it's because MARSOC have powerful elementalists? I'm a level 5 Sorcerer; can I apply? Or are they only accepting Wizards and Bards right now?
Luke Brooks
I don't think you could handle selections if i'm being perfectly honest.
The majority couldn't give a shit and the Good Ol' Boys were crying and bitching about them getting a pin screaming MUH EGA WAS ALL YOU NEEDED OORAH :(((((((((((((((
Marines are the biggest fucking crybabies when they see there are guys better then them out of Boot and actually DOING SHIT
David Thomas
>Physically incapable of losing a firefight What did he mean by this?
I used to meme on SWOT's before realizing they often have to go behind enemy lines just to figure out if it's going to thunder or to set up some bullshit weather equipments
Also they basically get cramped a degree in meteorology in about a year
Right now MARSOC has the highest passing rate out of all SOF Groups
Juan Hill
No, but we can agree that SEALs are the most overrated. This, the SWOT guys are fucking legit. Every interaction I've had with AF SOF-type personnel has been fantastic. (Regular airmen, on the other hand...)
Christian Long
Half of the current USMC wants to be a true professional elite fighting force for professionals.
The other half (mostly peacetime garrison faggots) just want the American version of the SS where they'd rather recruit motarded "true believers" who value the showy uniforms, bullshit ceremonies and Praetorian guard mystique over actually having a purpose in modern wars.
It's a shit state of affairs desu and I'm glad I EAS'd before it really kicked into high gear.
Leo Powell
Physically immunity to bullets.
Jack Johnson
This is the best troll thread I've seen for a hot minuite.
Kevin Long
How do halfwits always manage to unsee the benefit to strategic/political solutions instead of tactical
somebody is going to cook you a cake because they like you. Or you could > flashbang the kitchen, >throw flour everywhere, >steal all the cookbooks for intelligence collection purposes >scoop a few chocolate chips up >run outside and call for air exfil. It is so comfy to have allies, but instead you underagb& measure dakka by "willingness to commit genocide"
Cameron Gomez
Also, if SOF did all the door-kicking, as opposed to training locals to do it themselves, there would be ridiculous casualties.
Yeah, the investigation cleared MARSOC of any wrongdoing but they refused to go back to SOCOM afterwards since they fucked them over without a seconds hesitation. Considering the whole reason of their formation was to join SOCOM they're kind of hanging in limbo right now looking for a new purpose.
>>always bring heavy weapons platforms where ever they go
Surely they take heavy weapons, not bring them. Or are you saying that you're already at the place where they're heading too?
Anthony Morgan
>brainlets call people halfwits for not embracing American hearts and minds strategy
Works great for the US, doesn't it? There's never been a not-occupation that it didn't end in a few years, because everyone loves America and Disney.
Sebastian Perez
As opposed to what? The Soviet-in-Afghanistan or US-in-Vietnam approaches? Those didn't work either so what do you suggest?
Landon Hughes
Stop spending my tax dollars on securing someone's opium production. That'd be swell.
I realize this hurts the feelings of all kinds of people in DoD and DoS, but it'll save them a lot of trouble if they accept that no one is stupid enough to trust them.
Luis King
Marines trigger Jow Forums so fucking bad, it's Sour Grapes Syndrome the Thread.
Nicholas Young
None of that shit you said matters. And helmets are for actions on the objective you turboqueer.
Oliver Walker
Well shit, That's a pretty good solution alright.

They kill Taliban so hard the Taliban kill their own citizens to frame marsoc for war crimes. And it actually fucking worked.
Alexander Hernandez
>Too bad they arent SOF
they actually are now
yep
John Foster
I dunno why
Owen Hughes
all SOF are literally a meme though, special forces are essentially a big waste of fucking money but nobody wants to be the first one to admit it so every military around the world has 16 fucking different types of SOF who more or less do the same thing
>hurr no *this* one is the best >100 other faggots pile in to claim the SOF they've chosen to shill are the *real* operators
they're basically all the fucking same, there's a limit to how "special" a soldier can be, there's no magic secret training that elevates them into invincible supermen, they're a reasonably bit better than the regular troops, that's fucking it.
Alexander Young
SF is just the government's loophole to allow having sociopathic human garbage who would otherwise be considered psychologically unfit for service do its dirty work.
Who else would willingly volunteer for a combat outfit that exists solely for the purpose of engaging in what amounts to flagrant lawbreaking and extrajudicial murder?
stop posting the entire point is that they carry out different specific missions. the goal isn't to see how much money you can throw at a soldier in his 4 years but to create specialized units for different situations. there's a bit of an overlap when it comes to direct action and raids but SOF doesn't just cover high speed infantry - there are weathermen, air controllers, divers, public relations personnel, and even supply guys that fall under SOF.
Owen Jones
You seriously don't think that guys who volunteer to be trained in 20 different ways of killing people and are conditioned to do it on command without second thought are normal do you?
The USMC hasn't taken a combat fatality in almost 4 years, despite high levels of MARSOC activity. Think of all the spec ops guys who have been killed in recent years. You never hear of MARSOC guys making fuckups like the Army and Navy guys are making. The worst that's happened was that raid in Yemen about a year ago where they were trying to rescue some hostages and all of the hostages were executed before they could get to them. They still killed all the bad guys on site anyway and left with the hostage's bodies.
Eli Rogers
Of course they aren't, but being "normal" isn't something to be proud of
Jason Reed
Anyone know what kind of shoes the guy on the right is wearing? Always been wanting a pair of tactical chucks.
Robert Torres
That’s why they got relieved in Afghan and forced to do IFD missions where they kept giving us Recon guys the good missions
because it doesnt allow retarded ass 18 year olds whove never fired a gun to attempt selections, like all SOF should be doing.
Juan Perry
I respect the hell out of them. GO through all that hardass bullshit just to become the worlds most Operator Weatherman. Wonder how they even recruit guys
James Diaz
>>meanwhile marsoc simply contacts right when they see a village nearbye and summons all ordinance >and summons all ordinance
They hit the village with some mad municipal codes?
Cooper Wilson
Muh noise ordinance, no goat fucking after 11:00 etc.
Cooper Scott
Yeah but can't you get a recon contract in enlistment?
>They still killed all the bad guys on site anyway and left with the hostage's bodies So if they were Spetsnaz, the mission would still be considered a success?
Leo Ross
Recon isnt marsoc. Seal/recon exist to bait young noobs into pog contracts.
Nathaniel Hughes
>>whereas marsoc will just remove the entire village if necessarySounds like A grade bullshit to me

Adrian Cox
Take a look at how many shooters & looters they can actually put on the ground. They are a miniscule component of SOF. Not optimal.
Robert Thompson
So basically Rangers. If removing village what you wanna do you don't send in specialized small group of people. You bomb the shit out of it or send in normal infantry.
Carson Hill
Don't forget about the issued drug rugs. I mean just look how happy this MARSOCbro is.
If they were Spetnaz they would leave with quite a few more bodies than just the hostages.
Alexander Mitchell
Those are some JOOCY calves
Christian Jackson
SOF are faggotsthat get BTFO by literal children with old soviet AKs.
Do not idolize them. They are losers. The USA hasn't wine a war in like 30 years. I prefer warriors that win wars, not some millennial faggots that constant take selfies and constantly record with their go pros
Jordan Martinez
So who are these warriors you prefer then?
Gabriel Hill
Trenbologna sammies and rip its
Isaiah Morris
The ones busting big nuts in his boipucci
Thomas Howard
That would be Rangers baby
Lucas James
>litterly You know that helmets don't do anything to protect against overpressure, right?
Jonathan Moore
MARSOC got in trouble in Afganistan for being too trigger happy and expending too many munitions. sounds based as fuck to me. thats how marines fight.
Noah Ramirez
because to get invited to join you already have to be high speed, similar to delta.
SEALs, rangers and green berets all allow recruits to get contracts before they even join the military.
Charles Torres
Holy shit.
Ryder Ramirez
