He's embellishing and exaggerating a bit to make his point, so I can't be too mad at him. But yeah, it's still annoying the way he throws anyone who isn't at least 50 years old and doesn't have a bronze star under the bus. I've met a lot of young and ignorant salespeople at gun counters, but there are also a lot of college kids who just got back from overseas or have extensive firearms experience that does qualify them to bend your ear. It would be pretty silly to ignore anyone's advice without at least hearing it out and considering its validity.

I think he's more so trying to take the piss out of the Joe & Schmo Tactical videos that you see made by guys who never explain their backgrounds, as well as the "tactical pistol/rifle/shotgun/barrel roll" courses you see offered at the local gun store by the 300 pound owner (and I have indeed seen that one).
