I know they specifically mentioned temperament in the selection section of one of the sniper manuals. Not sure about special operations.

Honestly, most special operations selection processes seem to have very little to do with the actual what most Tier 1 units actually do. CAG, for example, has a 40 mile solo nav course as part of their selection.

There have been a few articles on "herding" which I didn't even know about before this election. I am no pollster, but it sounds like there's a huge incentive to protect the reputation of the polling firm ("it's a draw, so we can't be wrong") vs reporting numbers they think might make news.

Yeah, they are sort of just the worst in JSOC (although one wonders about the CIA direct action groups). But between this shit, the Nazis in the KSK, and Australian helicopter musical-chairs, it really does seem like there's something about special operations that attracts the worst a country has to offer.

In their defense, it turns out that a lot of the insanity and violent mood swings are related to brain damage from firing 10.3s indoors constantly.

But on the other hand what the fuck.

Socialist, green, and marijuana legalization parties make sense on paper. Of course that's only as long as you ignore how votes are counted, where the money comes from, and their actual listed accomplishments.

There's mixed evidence of whether or not mass shootings have a contagion effect, that people who are already "primed" see this shit on tv and decide that today's the day.

Or it could just be chance.

But maybe, here's an idea, we don't let people who make terroristic threats have guns. I don't care about what kind of gun, if you credibly threaten to murder a bunch of people, no gun for you.

Yeah as someone who uses both this is really not much of a feature.

Probably more accurate to say American trucks and raw materials, but yes.

Only if the regular suspects in your city are murderous gangs of bison. Or utahraptors.

This is why you don't shoot unsuppressed 10.3s indoors.

In this case, yes. Visually indistinguishable from a photo is considered CSAM. We don't need any new laws about AI to get these assholes. Revenge porn laws and federal CSAM statutes will do.
