Reply to comment by SpiritedSoul in TIL that footage from the video game Arma 3, a military sandbox game, has been mistaken for actual combat footage and has been used in news reports a number of times due to the realistic nature of the game. by No_Comparison2778

Are ladders as deadly in the army as in arma i always wondered

This is also likley why the army sucks at any operations that involve going underground

Boy step over here and let's have a talk for a second, okay?

Now listen you don't go and say that word in front of these guys. They're tough, all of 'em. But inside when someone starts gettin on about those things, it digs up some bad stuff, okay? Stuff they'd all really rather forget about.

Hell Half my company went on profile from ladders. They were in back at the motor pool, Christ knows how they got there. S1 still said afterward that they weren't supposed be there, but fuck, they're supposed to know that shit, aren't they? By the time First Sausage returned the basement after beating those PV2s that were on the grass, it was already too late. So many profiles, so much lost paperwork... All for nothin.

See that guy over there with the box on his head? That's /u/SpiritedSoul. He lost his Platoon Sarnt to a ladder, happened right in front of him. Now you tell me how a just and fair God would do something like that to someone like him?

Godammit you even got me going, now... Listen, just.. think about who's around when you bring things up, okay? Not tryin to make you feel like an ass or nothin, but just in the future give it a second.

I was an FO and one time had to climb a ladder two stories with my radio in full MOPP gear in the Carolina summer… yes ladders are as deadly as they are in Arma
