One platoon wonder

the most knowledgeable part of a NAVY S.E.A.L.s career the moment he returns from his first deployment when he now knows everything about being a S.E.A.L. and needs zero fucking guidance from anybody at all regardless of their rank or experience level.

Thank god we got so many fucking one platoon wonders. telling us what we do. it is just impossible to think how we ever fought the war without them. Lets all grow beards never cut our hair and tell the C.O. to go fuck himself. It must be the right thing to do I mean thats what the one platoon wonders want.
