Someone mentioned blah-thing about #brazil military, re: the #bozonazi minions in uniform getting shafted along him.
Random, but I recalled talking to a buddy, during a visit to Br. Said buddy was (still is?) in uniform, there. He mentioned that, during Brazil's tenancy of the #UNPROFOR in #Haiti ( #MINUSTAH ) , mid 2000s, they had to deal with actual tactical situations, which was an eye opener for them.
For context, for non-br peeps. The #brazilian military is large, but fairly underfunded (this is a charitable description), and given the "neutrality" ( eyes roll to infinite ) OFFICIAL political stance from Br, most of their missions are intra-borders, or border protection, and filling him for the lack of a government disaster relief apparatus. They barely, seldom see any combat that is not some pack of douchebag remainders of some sendero-like movement breaking through the Amazon border, etc.
ANYHOOS. There was this LTC (equivalent rank) in the Br Fuzileiros Navais (Marines) who was assigned a sector near Port-au-Prince IIRC, around Camp Jean. As they were guadring a venue to the camp, a gang of Haitian thugs decided to engage. Mind you, this is favela/slum groups, with foraged firearms, including revolvers and other such non-military firearms.
Now, if you have a handful of absolute baseline guys with assault rifles, you should be able to wipe the floor with such a ratag outfit of dumbfucks.
The event became a melee, firefight, and has become a REFERENCE for tactical ops in br military. Said LTC NEVER failed to bring it up, most of the time of his briefings , whatever the subject, dragged with a painfully extended account of his heroic deeds in Haiti, against douches in sandals and five-shooters.
Someone else, also in uniform br mil, who was chatting with us mentioned that, and knowing I was US Army, asked what I thought of that. I had the impression they were kinda star struck by someone who had seen "combat". I nodded, quipped "A dozen guys in sandals, packing old civ weapons, firing at soldiers? In the US Army, deployed, we call that Tuesday", then I finished my teeth-cracking-cold chopp pilsen tulip glass, non-chalantly.
In the audience, my buddy was rolling in his chair, the other guy was less impressed. I understand the anecdote made it to the ears of that (in)famous LTC.
It's always fun to keep douches in check, cut them to size.
