I Don't Know ...

 ... what this kid Mario Nawfal was thinking, but pairing a senior officer of the US Marines and a man of principles with some "sniper and special forces" clown with sergeant (nothing personal against sergeants) who drinks 404 Kool Aid. What did Nawfal expect? 

Scott absolutely flattened this "special forces" ass-hole, whose understanding of war is as good as my understanding of the Chinese choreography. Does Nawfal do this on purpose, to create drama by pairing a solid professional with serious intel background with some creep who has no tool kit to grasp operational and strategic realities of SMO? After he was told by Douglas Macgregor to "stop BSing his audience" regarding 404 losses, I begin to think that that is Nawfal's MO to increase his audience. How the fuck this Nawfal guy ended up with Judge Nap and Larry in the same room with Lavrov remains a complete mystery. Two heavyweights and this kid? 

Nawfal is so removed from even basic realities of warfare, let alone operations and strategy, with the background in ... well, "investing", that one must ask the question how this Matt Tardio ended up in the same virtual room with Scott. The only "argument" this sergeant had was to attack Scott's character from the position of knowing nothing about Russia, Russian military and REAL war. I personally am getting tired of listening to all kinds of low rank guys talking about how great they were in ... Afghanistan or Iraq.
