That guy is an idiot. I was deployed to Afghanistan the same rotation as him. That was the year of the "Taliban Resurgence". We took lots of casualties. I was by my old company just two days ago and looked at the plaques in the hallway; I counted 22 Purple Hearts for that rotation alone. Those guys, the National Guard guys, didn't have a picnic either. They lost SFC Robinson in a pretty one-side fight and, later, that same team left country in a bad situation (I won't get into that here). Some of their other teams were pretty busy conducting a number of operations, but they did not see much combat. But, within that dangerous environment, this guy had nothing better to do than to film BS. On top of that, he aired every piece of dirty laundry about his team for the whole world to see.

For some reason - I'm not in the know on the reasons - his SF tab was revoked. Knowing how hard it is to justify that administrative action, I’m willing to bet it was for something pretty bad. He seems to blame that on everything and everyone but himself. He mainly singles out his team sergeant and subsequently, his whole company chain of command. He acts as if he is the only guy in the universe that has had a bad experience in a unit. I guess most of us deal with that like men while others must deal with it like immature little boys.
