Get 'em drunk, they all love that formula. It worked in Afghanistan, it worked in Germany, it worked in Japan, it worked in Korea... the list could go on.
ETA: Dude! Gimme your Top 5 songs to get people dancin'! I'll gotta learn 'em this week! No fooling.
My issue is with FBI's tradecraft (or, lack thereof). I KNOW they conduct surveillance. I have seen them really fuck up their operations and I don't put much stock in what they then claim.
I don't put much stock in the FBI after having worked alongside them stateside and downrange. Their information was not worth actioning. And, many of their stances went against what the community said by ignoring - what we felt - were key elements. I also have some similar things to say about the DEA, but we don't need to get into ALL my biases.
It just feels odd to have an upvote for simply commenting. I mean, it's not like I'm getting life points or anything. Up or downvotes don't really matter. It just feels... disingenuous? to have some sort of point for - what I feel - is nothing. So, I just remove it. Maybe I'll retrain myself to leave it? IDK.
What have we become? Like, maybe we should be lifting our citizens up and not denigrating them? Maybe. I'm not with the government anymore. What do I know?
"The FBI began surveilling..." aaannnd, now I don't believe any of this. Those chuckle-fucks have about as much tradecraft as the Afghan NDS...which is to say, fucken NONE! FFS
Nah. It happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
