Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Don't have to be smart to die for this great country.
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I seriously hope this was taken in basic training somewhere. At that stage, this is an understandable mistake by someone who never grew up around guns and might be a little slow. But if it's in Afghanistan like the video claims, somebody did this soldier a serious injustice by pushing him through without training. Just setting him up to die.
Sidekick Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 The private called him drill sergeant so I'm guessing that this was during basic training
Jackson Rose, SASS #45478 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 but they never run out in the movies!!
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Yeah, I'd bet my paycheck that it's a trainee. If I had a paycheck.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 My feelings exactly, Charlie. Even during the latter part of WW II they replacements got to fire their rifles before combat.

I think that is the label that goes on everything of theirs.
DocWard Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I'm guessing it was meant as humor, but that is just a guess.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hope he doesn't have an infantry MOS.
Bad Jeemes Kelly Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Don't have to be smart to die for this great country. But it helps if you'd rather not die, or cause your buddies to die. Hope he doesn't have an infantry MOS. From the easy going reaction of the drill sergeant, I'll guess that was Ft. Jackson, so he's not Infantry/Armor/Cav
Chili Ron Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Howdy, It reminds me of a day on the rifle range when I let a fella try my tuned up rifle. there were 30 rounds in the mag. He fired all 30, never offered to pay for em. I never handed that much to anyone after that. 5 rounds max. Lucky it wasn't expensive ammo. If it had been that would be a different story. Best CR

Best CR That dang private never offered to pay for the ammo either! I suspect he will pay for it in some fashion though.
G W Wade Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 got the chance to try to qualify with 1911. I got to personally witness an ensign jerking the trigger violently. cleared my weapon and stepped back. range officer approached asking why, to see the ensigns slide was locked back. I don't have to explain the rest of the story, but just glad it wasn't me!! GW
Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hes on our side? Cant we smuggle him into ISIS somehow?
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Morons like this are the ones you see on TV winning the 300 million dollar lottery. It's just the way the world works.

No, he'd have to be on parole to win the lottery and the Army won't take him while he's on parole. ...which I realized, as I typed it, isn't really true - I'd have said it was impossible, but 2 Kentucky parolees, that I know of, have enlisted while on parole, in the last 5-6 years. Maybe that guy will win the lottery.
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I don't understand Sargent Sir, I was pulling on the trigger thingy.......................................
