It's so cute. He'd try to refute anything else, but can't, because he hasn't yet read a rebuttal on any of the military forums.
Let's give a little lesson for FakeSoldierElfJoe.
Scouts, in humvees, with mounted weapons, would most likely have SAWs or .50Cals. Not 240s. Two forties are for line platoons. There are two in each platoon, between that AGs, FOs, they make up the weapons squad.
When a mission is given to go out there and win them some hearts and minds, the platoon leader, or platoon sergeant, heads on out with his men and goes along with RTO, interpreter, and maybe a single squad. Never weapons squad. Weapons squad stays on the fucking humvee pulling security, and never a mission have I seen where they spoke with interpreters. So, somewhere along the line Joe morphed from a gunner to a platoon leader, to someone who could just say, "no fuck this I'm out", and throw a temper tantrum and leave a house he was under orders to speak with.
But please, go on about my preference for phonetic'n an acronym to make it more readable to how it was audible.
I'm truly sorry you were too inbred to be accepted as an actual soldier. Maybe in your next life you won't come back as a little off centered boy with a father-uncle.
