First Look – FSTV Episode 5: Breach Point
What the hell have I just witnessed….
This is a head scratcher. Apparently, the mission was to simply blow a hole in every door in the complex as fast as possible. Likewise, the motorcycles were used to get on and off the obviously permissive target as fast as possible.
Results: minor damage to the structures, no tangos engaged, no hostages rescued, no prisoners taken, no intelligence gathered. Of course, the bad guys are going to be mighty pissed when they get back and see those doors. So there’s that.
I am left to assume that beating the clock was the only real objective. Otherwise, it looks pretty cool, but makes no sense to me.

Anyone,
Serious question. I know I am a curmudgeon, and obviously not the target audience for these videos. I respect and own some FS gear and far be it for me to question their business model. Clearly a lot of time, money, and effort, went into making this video. Still, I am curious and befuddled. What, exactly, is the expected return on the investment with something like this?

It’s surefire field notes.. if field notes wasn’t educational.. which is the whole point of field notes.. just a bunch of tacticool nonsense.

Sometimes you find a dry hole…
paul,
In a scripted video why demonstrate a dry hole? Sure, in real life “dry holes” happen from time to time. I recognize that they edited out the slow parts in this case to speed up the action. However, if my team has strapped it on, saddled up, and gone into harms way, I am going to spend a wee bit more time thoroughly searching the objective before I accept that the mission is a bust. YMMV, but it appeared to me that the guys in the video were concentrating on being fast rather than smooth and did not seem to be looking for anything in particular.

no unicorn-riding mermaids to be found… next objective!
Stupid.
