    It’s like those Netflix movies that look like something that would be depicted as a movie inside a movie. The only non-white person in the main cast is half-Jamaican half-British Rickie Whittle (thought has last name was whitey)

    I like how 3 people on the poster prominently feature their bent muscular arm. That seems like a very prominent thing for “operator” goons. “I have enough muscles to hold up this big gun I’m going to pull the trigger of”.

      It’s especially funny because even with a bunch of doodads on there it still weighs less than a M1 Garand wielded by smol bean nazi killer Audie Murphy.

        yea, excess muscle is only a hindrance in war, the bigger your body the more chance a bullet will fragment instead of passing through, extra weight you carry on your feet/ankles/knee/back/heart, larger profile to be shot at, etc.

        like the muscle might make you better as an artillery team loader i guess but thats basically it. bullets kill you just as dead through muscle and upper body strength only really matters in melee combat which almost never happens in modern conflicts. you want just enough strength to carry and lift your shit long distances on foot and to drag your squadmates to the medic when they get shot.

        navy SEALS are like the only spec ops types that have a reputation for being musclebound meatheads, look at pictures of SFOD guys or any european spec ops and they all look like scrawny nerds with serial killer expressions
