:yea:
the fact that bill o'reilly is so fucking rich despite having 0 talent or meaningful thoughts in his cooked boomer brain whatsoever, makes me deeply existentially upset
also I learned about "Extreme ownership" a while back and i remember the author is a SEAL fuckhead war criminal through and through
100% it's how these chid publishers function. They buy back their own books to make sales look high, then ship them back or dump them in goodwill.
All of these books are essentially pornography. They serve the same purpose.
See how MANLY and BLOODTHIRSTY our war criminals are! :amerikkka-clap:
The reason these books do so well on Amazon and NYT lists is because the publishers buy the entire first run for themselves to boost numbers.
It's a low cost endeavor for getting your name all over every "best seller" list. Then they dump the first run in thrift stores so they get even more free publicity from people only seeing fucking Bill O'Reilly books in Goodwill.
I hate when I go to used book stores expecting high brow political analysis and all they have is boomer bill o'reilley books and shitty spy thrillers you buy at museum gift shops.
was losing my mind i thought o'reilly died, but apparently that was limbaugh
Isn't tribe supposed to be kinda good?
Edit: nvm looked it up and read the Wikipedia summary, sounds like garbage.
The only thing I've ever heard regular army grunts say about the seals and othe jsoc teams is that they're all roid raging psychopaths who go in to areas in the middle of the night, slaughter a ton of people who are usually civilians, and the fuck off to whatever black ops base they came from. In the morning the infantry grunts who have been trying to build trust and shut down insurgents in that region for months or years suddenly face an entire region that wants revenge for their murdered family members. Rinse and repeat for the entire war on terror.
Liberals love special forces bc they're supposedly cheap and efficient and let them do intervention stuff without having to get popular support. Fash love them because gung ho macho killer soldier hero kills brown terrorists. Irl they're tactically almost useless, strategically they're incapable of completing any military objectives, And since they're basically all extremely motivated sociopaths every jsoc operation has a constant miasma of murder, assassinations, sexual violence, drug running, arms running, suicide, and general flagrant criminality around it.
America!
