yea but that is kinda the meter for a large scale contested jump. Theres a report from 2010 about the T-10s done by the 82nd the rate was 10.5 injuries every 1,000 jumps I don’t know the injury figures of the MC-6
was going to commission as a transportation officer, but got MEDDBOARDED out because of an allergy to peanuts, so aside from ROTC and shadowing officers at drill for armor, a lot of nothing.
shouldn't surprise anyone
Military brehs have a serious problem on their hands.
take care of your disenfranchised vets and they don't stroll around aimlessly looking for someone to tell them who to blame

Nearly 1 in 5 Charged in Capitol Riot Are Current or Former Military Members: Report

You know what’s really wild—albeit not super surprising to Black people—about the siege on the U.S. Capitol earlier this month? Those who took part in it weren’t just idiotic civilians; some were idiots who are also largely considered to be this nation’s heroes. It’s bad enough that cops and government officials were among those who participated in the white-nonsense rampage at the Capitol, but it looks like members and former members of America’s armed forces also represent a sizable portion of those formally accused of storming the building on Jan 6—and by “sizable,” I mean around one in five.

NPR compiled a list of individuals facing federal or District of Columbia charges in connection with the events of Jan. 6. Of more than 140 charged so far, a review of military records, social media accounts, court documents and news reports indicate at least 27 of those charged, or nearly 20%, have served or are currently serving in the U.S. military. To put that number in perspective, only about 7% of all American adults are military veterans, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Several veterans are charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. One of them is Larry Rendall Brock Jr. The Air Force veteran was photographed in a military-style helmet and tactical vest carrying flex cuffs inside the Capitol. He posted on Facebook that he was preparing for a “Second Civil War,” according to documents filed in federal court. In the weeks after Biden’s victory, Brock posted that “we are now under occupation by a hostile governing force.”
“I see no distinction between a group of Americans seizing power and governing with complete disregard to the Constitution and an invading force of Chinese communists accomplishing the same objective,” Brock wrote. (There is no credible evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.) He ended his post with a reference to the oath taken by members of the military: “Against all enemies foreign and domestic.”
Maaaan, listen: There’s a reason national defense officials felt the need to have the FBI screen the some 25,000 National Guard members assigned to secure the Capitol on Inauguration Day, and why that screening resulted in the removal of around a dozen of those guard members, mostly due to ideological affiliation. That isn’t to say that everyone in the military is a potential insurrectionist, but when an institution exists in a culture of jingoism and blind patriotism, it’s bound to produce its fair share of extremists.
In fact, NPR noted that federal prosecutors “have also alleged that multiple members of the right-wing extremist group the Oath Keepers took part in the ‘incursion’ at the Capitol,” and that the group routinely targets and recruits veterans and active-duty members of the military, some of whom are among those alleged to have been involved in the siege. Hell, it’s worth the reminder that Ashli Babbitt, one of the rioters who died for the non-cause, was an Air Force veteran.
A recently published survey conducted by the Military Times and Syracuse University Institute for Veterans and Military Families found that around one-third of active-duty troops said they have “personally witnessed examples of white nationalism or ideological-driven racism within the ranks in recent months.”
Again, none of it is particularly surprising, but it’s all troubling nonetheless. What happened at the Capitol weeks ago wasn’t specifically a military problem; it was an America-being-America problem. It’s only natural that this nation’s many flaws are often reflected in those tasked with defending it.
Military brehs have a serious problem on their hands.
Most military are conservative, republican and swing right wing so this isn't all that surprising
its always disenfranchisementYou think it's disenfranchisement or more just plain
when your vets are fukked over, they go anti-gov in whatever the established version of it looks like
biggest problem with that 'respect the flag' shyt was how tunnel visioned the media was about the whole thing - meanwhile all these backyard militia groups never fukking went anywhere. they keep the same general energy whether the national media's coverage is on point or not.
most swing right because republicans don't shyt on them openly and whenever its convenient

it’s all suicide even if we come in free fall we don’t have to numbers to survive if we get rolled up
combatives is meant to buy you time, not to win (levels 1-2) at least
by the time you hit 3 you're basically taking any level 4 instructor's mma course - which is aite
but if you're ever scrapping with some dude 1 on 1 with no weapon, a lot of shyt went wrong

In the Philippines we are attached to a Filipino M113 company me and one of the chicks started chilling during the training and she has been trying to get me to smash but I wasnt trying to because we are in the middle of the jungle and haven’t showered
so I consulted my homies and my boy was like “I mean you haven’t showered and she hasn’t showered so naturally the stank cancels itself out”
My dumb ass was like damn this nikka is right
I raw dogged this chick in the back of an M113
When i’m walking back to our little makeshift defensive position a Water Buffalo is looking at me like
you damn the animal

bjj was big in SF and they trained more they had a combatives instructor and we trained a couple of hours weekly. more when a deployment was up coming
SOF uses the element of surprise, it's hard to hide 1,000 paratroopers falling on a LZ.
