>“Who’s got the GPS? This map… I can’t even read this thing,” 2nd Lt. Anthony Mills was overheard saying, since he continued to key the radio’s handset after pausing during one of nine lines of information the pilots need to conduct a bombing run.
>Defense officials say the 22-year-old Army officer on his first deployment made the call for close air support just minutes after his patrol was fired upon by what appeared to be a single ISIS fighter armed with an AK-47, which he reported to the combat operations center as an entire battalion of terrorists armed with tanks.
The butter bar meme is real
No kill like overkill, I guess
How in the world can you be in the military and not know how to use a map.
This reminds me of that scene from Generation Kill where they mistake a town for a convoy of tanks.

DuffelBlog is satire btw, it's like the military version of The Onion
This is just satire, it's not an actual news story
Yeah, was coming here to say this.
Wasn't aware, came across it while browsing around, my apologies
people believed it though, goes to show how little confidence they have in their military
It goes to show what people are willing to believe about lieutenants
"The fact that I even thought it was real just proves how bad things have gotten!"
i mean all you have to is check the side headlines lol
