Re: Former SEAL, and Blackwater OPERATOR
[quote name="E. L. Koba"][quote name="Lizard_King"][quote name="E. L. Koba"] Also, whoever hired Ben Thomas, "Former SEAL, and Blackwater OPERATOR 8(" as the military advisor for this movie should be FUCKING FIRED.[/quote] So what's the deal with this guy, other than being the worst movie consultant in history? There's some idle <a href="http://www.socnet.com/archive/index.php/t-16957.html">chatter</a>, but I'm not really interested in Swiftboating the guy's military record so much as finding out what on earth leads him to sign off on this shit. And why they wouldn't bring in, you know, an EOD guy who'd worked in that sort of situation.[/quote] All I know about him is he is the guy in the blue shirt in this video that's been bouncing around forever: [youtube id="_Xa2Yesog_k"] And now I guess he's just parleying his youtube fame into movie consulting, and representing Colt at SHOT Show this year or something. He's pals with some airsoft store nerds that I do some dev work for occasionally. Maybe the moronic way the people acted in that movie is the way Blackwater actually operates? Which would explain alot. [quote name="Roger Ebert"]"The Hurt Locker" represents a return to strong, exciting narrative.[/quote] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH [/quote]
