Debunking the patriot destruction video-Habitual Line Crosser

#7  Thank you. I enjoyed the video. He is fantastic proof that the US military has not been ruined despite our best efforts. I appreciate that his command is allowing him to speak judiciously. He will make a lot of money, in my opinion, as a contractor one day. I would have loved to have served with him.

#6  This man is or was a mid ranking enlisted man in the US military with expertise is the Patriot Missile System.

He is SFC Long stationed at Ft. Sill, OK. He is a trainer and operator of the Patriot systems.

#5  You have not, but you probably would not argue with a mechanic about how to fix your car. The young man in the video is authentic. No cable news show would broadcast an actual enlisted person with working knowledge. It is always the generals.

#4  Useful perspective, Super Hose. To be fair, I too have never touched a socket or impact gun

#3  I have stayed out of the Russia Ukraine stuff because I don’t like either side and mistrust all of our politicians that want us in a nuclear conflict badly for the purposes of reaching their master’s depopulation goals. In this case, AKA Joe’s strident depreciations against the person making the video peaked my curiosity. Here are my takes understanding that I was a marginal division officer on a destroyer several decades ago:
This man is or was a mid ranking enlisted man in the US military with expertise is the Patriot Missile System.
His takes jibe with what I vaguely remember about missile systems onboard a 70’s era DDG.
I am not sure why anyone on CNN, who are uniformly pro-globalist would be discrediting him.
I am not sure who is left on CNN, but none of them would likely know how operate a socket or impact gun without hurting themselves.
This guy is unlikely to have not received some NJP in his career.
I would definitely hire him into any technical position I had available when he leaves the service.
