This video has apparently been making the rounds. Before we go any further, let me stipulate that I don’t know with certainty if this is really CAG or somebody playing tacticool during weekend at Bubba’s. It is alleged to be CAG. No one in the thread seems to be questioning that, and in fact, they seemed to think it’s pretty cool.
On the other hand, I’m appalled. It looks amateurish and silly. They hop off of a helicopter and clop around like cows for close to half a minute, making as much noise with the machinery and footsteps as possible. The players aren’t alerted to any presence despite the massive noise avalanche, they’re standing still, there are no trip wires to kill the team, they are out in the open with no cover or concealment, and it’s broad daylight.
If this was really a CAG practice mission, I would have expected face paint, no reflective lenses, dark clothing, entry by night along a treeline, use of NODS, and quiet approach to room entry execution that went off in two to three seconds and the rest of the building cleared in under ten seconds.
When my son was in the Marine Corps, including live fire shoot house training, when the training included Marine-on-Marine shooting they used chalk rounds. Those hurt from what I understand.
Why weren’t the actors moving? Why weren’t the actors shooting back with chalk rounds? Why wasn’t this real training rather than a waste of time and gasoline for the helicopter?
So as I stipulated, I don’t know with certainty that this is CAG. It could be weekend at Bubba’s. Somebody who can track this down please tell me this isn’t really CAG?
I’m left scratching my head at this whole thing.
