“When we requested that we stop training because someone had died … we were told to ‘shut the f— up, sit there and keep doing your job’ as if nothing happened,” the guard member told TPR. “We had made a request for chest seals, trauma supplies like tourniquets — stuff like that. … We were told that there was ‘no need for those supplies at this time.’ So they were denied. … This is immediately following a servicemember being shot in the back and dying.”
the complaints are gold, oh no they don’t have bodyarmor? whatever will these not-getting-shot-at guys do? no hot food? are they too fucking dense to set a fire? they’re out here getting paid ridiculous money to wander around and dig fences 10 minutes from a taco bell and they’re so nonplussed by it they’re claiming to get PTSD
No no no you don’t understand…it takes three grown ass men armed with fully automatic weapons to guard a section of razorwire set up along a river bed in case of a potential attack child making its way across the spot where their buddy died and destroying the Taco Bell with a tactical nuke developed by ISIS. Don’t let the terrorists win!
