Nothing ruins a good war story like someone else that was there

Finally getting around to listening. I know Brent Tucker covers this but I want to add as well:

No one sends their stellar performers to LNO positions. No one. I have never come across an SF guy working in an LNO billet and thought damn that guy rocks he should be on a team.

Tim seems to have bounced around. Rolled out of the CIF, and Brent does an excellent job of making a point I hadn’t thought of. If you weren’t SFARTAETC qualified in the CIF, you were a nobody. So his Iraq combat was watching other people do dastardly things. (However you can have a pretty kinetic time on blocking positions.)

I spent 7 years in a CIF and can back that up.

Also his active duty career can’t have been that inspiring if he joined in 2004 and was already fighting in Strike Force by 2009. I don’t know when he left active duty, but no team guy actually on a team is going to be given the time to fuck off and train and travel to fight.

SF guys will aggressively destroy reputations of shitbags, and it’s happening now to him.

Good! Glad you guys are cleaning your own house unlike the Navy side who are encouraged to lie by NSWC.

How often would someone get their tab pulled?

Very rare, only seen it happen once. A guy ran over a local national while driving drunk overseas

Tim could become the Brendan Schaub of special forces. If he’s someone who’s always coming up with new lies that people can expose, which it seems like he is, these podcasts won’t be one and done. Like Schaub, entire podcasts dedicated to dunking on him will pop up.

The guy in the middle, the 7th Group/CIF guy acts exactly like how I would expect. Quiet, far more listening than speaking, when asked a question answers it directly with no embellishment.
