Gotta gree with Farsalor and Fugu here, finding a woman to put up with you just kind of happens. There's no science, you just do you and there's at least one woman out there that'll find you hotter than balls.

Well, I mean, there is science obviously

Improving your chances of finding a woman by doing things like maintaning a balanced fitness level (2% body fat will hurt your chances, just like too much muscle), self-affirming humor, being tall, showing a generous and/or fatherly side when around children or animals, things like that.

Women are ultimately biological, and what they find attractive is good genes and a personality lending itself well to protection and caring for them and your offspring.

What do you guys think? https://www.foxnews.com/us/decorated-navy-seal-edward-gallagher-accused-of-war-crimes-in-a-case-that-should-have-americans-outraged-brother-says.amp

I wouldn't be supprised, with what I've heard has become of the SOCOM community

He'll write a book about this no matter what

I've heard former army sof talk about part of the issue being that SEALs never have to take psych evals like rangers/sf/cag

My question is really, is this kind of behavior justified?

If true

it is war

war is hell

Generally I would say that the rules of war are there for a reason, and if people follow them it's less hell for everyone. But I don't know if we have to follow those rules when we are fighting terrorists who wouldn't afford us the same courtesy. There is an argument to be made for being the bigger man about it but idk

they do not follow the rules of war therefore the rules of war do not apply to them

fuck being the bigger man

I want to go home alive

war is not a moral affair and you better be a savage to survive

The argument would be more that being inhumane could drive up their recruitment and also cause populations who are subject to mistreatment to be more willing to collaborate with insurgents. I don't know if I agree with that or not

don't need to worry about that if you leave no survivors

I mean

Yeah

Yeah, but it's tough to make a case of "it was him or me so I stabbed him" when the incident in question was him stabbing a kid receiving medical care from other SEAL medics

I mean

Theres got to be some line you dont cross, right?

Waste of meds you could use on a seal

Enemy combatants don’t deserve aid

Neither do their spawn

Kids are just child soldiers trying to get out

I don't necessarily agree that enemy combatants don't deserve aid, I would agree that terrorists/insurgents don't though, unless they are for whatever reason more useful alive

If they signed the same rules you did, abide by them when fighting that enemy

If they never signed, they're not protected and you don't owe them shit

"War is hell" until the other man puts you in hell with hollow point to the gut, if you don't follow the rules don't expect them to be applied to your own situation

Like I said, if they don't follow the various conventions on warfare, you don't have to treat them by those rules.

@Mangy no fucking shit

we aren't the IRA

Both parties have to sign the agreement for it to be binding

legit ISIS and the IRA abuse that

Yep

Yeah, ISIS and IRA arnt subject to these conventions, that's why Idk if what this guy did is really a "war crime"

They're savage animals, and they don't deserve to be treated by the rules of civilized warfare.
