Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Here is a challenge for all the "never done anything of consequence" armchair quarterbacks.
Read this interview.

I still think he is a cry baby that is used to getting his way and whines when he doesn't.

Can you imagine that guy as a US Senator?
If you haven't read it yet, here are the basics. Jake is a science genius, he was shot in the hip in HS but was running the next day and the bullet is still in him, he got top rank recommendations to get into the Naval Academy even though he didn't even know what the Seals were, he picked the Navy because it had nicer buildings than the Army, he took 6 months to get his Seal qualification when most take 18, he was a Seal but gave that up, he made 6 figures but gave that up, he got a coaching job by just sitting on the sidelines during practice and following the coaches around, he is an artist, and he has
Sounds about right.“the innate ability to do the impossible consistently”
I like the show for the only reason that I enjoy watching the competition with various weapon systems; I can appreciate what it take to pick up something, adapt, and compete. I have no desire to watch or be involved in drama; hate it actually.
I think Jake was a talented individual but lacked the capacity for sportsmanship ((conduct (as fairness, respect for one's opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing) becoming to one participating in sports.)) I don’t think a kill or be killed mentality is going to work in a competition like this. It is more of a gentleman's competition to see who is best.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

My thoughts exactly. I assume there was some sarcasm in there.
The USNA graduates between 900-1000 per year. This year there were 973 of which 251 were women. 722 men. that is 0.0002311%of the population
The SEAL program takes in 1000 applicants including enlisted and graduates between 200-250. That is 0.00007711% of the pop. of that small number 15% are officers. That would be 0.000011567% of the population.
What have you lot who want to sit and criticize done?
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” -Teddy THE MAN Roosevelt
What have you lot who want to sit and criticize done?
Not quit.
So you're saying that if someone accomplishes something difficult once they can NEVER be criticized again?What have you lot who want to sit and criticize done?
Sorry that don't hold water ... the man pussed out, pure and simple. I don't care if he took out the Iraqi Republican Guard single handedly and cured cancer the following weekend ... after acting like a baby on several occasions he quit when he was going to have to face the music and THAT is pussy behavior.
Honestly of all the special ops guys I've known over the years (and I've known a handful), they would be quicker to call Jake a pussy than I did.
Hell, my dad did two tours of Viet Nam as Airborne ... if he saw me quit like that he'd give me **** for it for years (even if I had made it through SEAL school).

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
that Jake guy was a d bag! I just got done watching the last episode on top shot who quits really.... pisses me off he was even there! glad to see they brought Mike back however i also kind of wish he would have just punched Jake in the face when they squared off a few episodes ago
As contrived as the show is, I have to say I admire anyone that can show the restraint that Mike showed. I know I wouldn't have been able to resist.glad to see they brought Mike back however i also kind of wish he would have just punched Jake in the face when they squared off a few episodes ago
