K-Strategists Are Accustomed To Shortage

This is unacceptable, but it demonstrates a point:

Sean Matson, who recently left active-duty as a Navy SEAL, said the military measured his head four times – each time before deployment – with plans to provide him a more advanced ballistic helmet.

But the new helmet never materialized. During a deployment in Africa, Matson and six of his fellow SEALs each shelled out about $900 for updated helmets that held the lights, communications devices and batteries needed for their missions.

“There was never a clear solution to it, so guys were going out spending $800-$900 on their own ballistic helmet,” said Matson, who is now CEO of the military supply company Matbock.

Elite troops such as the SEALs are more and more forced to dip into their own pockets to purchase basic military gear such as helmets, global positioning devices and medical supplies, according to Matson and others involved in the military’s unofficial civilian-side supply network who came to Capitol Hill on Thursday.

Duncan Hunter is on this, and I’m sure Trump will be very interested in resolving it if Hunter has trouble.

However notice, if some round-heeled skank isn’t forklifting a fresh palletized crate of free taxpayer-funded diaphragms into her garage each week so she can service as many guys as her vagina can handle, feminists amass on the steps of the Capitol like a swarm of bees following a queen to a new hive. You’ll never hear the end of it.

Here, a SEAL we are sending through the gates of hell lacks basic important equipment he needs to survive his mission, and he shrugs his shoulders, scrounges his cash, and quietly buys it himself without complaint.

These are two different psychologies, designed for two different environments. The K-strategist expects shortage and is designed to cope with it, while the r-strategist is designed for free resources, expects them, and freaks out if they are not forthcoming.
