The IRS or ATF would never dare even look at a billionaire the wrong way. Not only would some mega rich guy have the capital to drown you in legislation across multiple states on a whim, his fellow billionaire friends would pull their strings in both parties to personally fuck over every individual member, both the FBI and agent would be getting multiple separate sham lawsuits, destroying the latter's life. This is why the IRS wants to focus on shaniqua and her untaxed venmo payments over $600 and the ATF goes after low hanging fruit in bumpstocks and braces
They don't even have to do that tbh. Basically the entire US government is an example of regulatory capture. The people heading them are appointed to not do their mission but to accommodate the interests of the politicians that appointed them, who are instructed to put people in place that won't get in the way too much.
I'm sure they did, but 87,000 armed agents or however many it was is enough to 1v1 the Australian armed forces and probably win, which seems a bit excessive considering the stated goal of investigating tax fraud by people earning over $500,000 a year
>He fell for the 90,000 agents meme
IRS CI has about 3,300 with 2,200 of them being special agents. Are you telling somehow have more special agents then the FBI

The story of sicario was that they were killing cartel A so more controllable cartel B could take their place. The guy that del toro plays is ex cali cartel. Did you actually watch it?
It's becoming less bullshit than you think.
US is taking the steps to wage SOME kind of war with Mexico using cartels as justification. It's been pretty much the wet dream of some of the more radical factions within the republican party for a while now and they might just get what they want as they grow more in prominence (see Jan 2023 events) regardless of what the CIA thinks. (Or, who knows, this may be what they actually want)

because they were considered fashionable in the 80s and early 90s
No, they were the standard issue glasses for the US military. If you need glasses, those are the glasses you're issued. They are cheap as shit, and semi- rugged
zoomer hipsters are actually starting to eat them as a fashion item now. (all I'm on campus and like half the students dress like disillusioned Vietnam vets, I really don't get it)
>not aging prematurely is bad
people in the past didn't look older because they were high test or whatever, they looked older because they smoked like chimneys and did back breaking labor in the sun
it's also so funny because a good portion of them are Hmong or Karen. They must have special significance for vietnam war Americans since they are also obsessed with camouflage clothing and 1950s Americana (even see the SV flag in the wild around here in MN, picrel)
its so funny that hollywood specifically went out of its way to make an "unassuming geeky accountant looking badass" character based on Vining but they STILL couldnt resist casting a Manly McToughguy hardass looking actor for the role instead of an actually normal, if not disarming, looking actor. these people have way too much money for being so utterly incompetent at everything
>millions dead >zero military victories >US lost only a handful of troops
uh yeah, they "won" but this is one of the cases where you don't want to be a starter on the winning team.
>Viet Cong flag over Vietnam
First of all, no it isn't you fucking retard. Vietnam's flag is the flag of North Vietnam, not the VC. Secondly, the VC were virtually wiped out in the Tet Offensive. The war was won by the NVA.
It’s really really REALLY hard to kill and ideology, and we came in to kill people. It was doomed from the start and we should have just left after bin laden
The US didn't lose the wars, they just failed at building it up afterwards. The 2003 Iraq war was won in less than 6 weeks with less than 200 casualties. Saddam Hussein was captured and killed on camera. The problem was filling that vacuum in a nation you've just won a war against. The occupation of Germany was much easier since the population is far more succeptible to adjusting to it's new situation than inbred Arabs who spawn random jihadi groups every other year. The same thing in Afghanistan in 2001. The US managed to overthrow the Taliban in less than 10 weeks with only 13 casualties. The issue here was even after 20 years of help, the Afghan government was fucking useless and fell within a few months of the US leaving.
The US is very good at fighting just incapable of doing the difficult job of creating a new government for people who are genuinely incapable of building ones for themselves.
Sicario is better paced and has more action than Heat (1995): the daytime television drama masquerading as a crime thriller, acclaimed by utter tools here for twelve (12) minutes of PrepHoleino in a nearly three hour film
>by my own criterion trying to dunk on someone I admit Sicario is a superior film
Heat is 3 straight hours of "donnnnn't you do it... don't you rob that bank!" "oh I'm gonna rob it... yup hehe" "don't do it!" over and over again
Sicario is superior in every single regard

Yeah, this is the thinking man's dilemma
Went to CQD training with a retired SAS guy who was working for MI6. When it was his turn for a drill where the role players get too close and you gotta ascertain the threat, he rips out “GET BACK OR I’LL GIVE YA THE BUSINESS” and did.
did people not know IRS had a division of enforcement agents that were armed before the last 12 months?
There are at least 75 federal law enforcement investigative agencies not counting the additional uniformed police ones. Former USPISfag.
I never understood why the Americans use a military special force unit (delta) to do clandestine shit. don't you guys have a CIA military unit to do that ?
the Russian have vympel
the French had the 11th shock airborne reg, then CPIS
the brits must have some mi6 unit as well different from the SAS
Division of labor. The CIA arms "moderate rebels", Delta breaks into the moderate terrorists' houses at night when they inevitably turn out to be not so moderate after all, and the SEALs write best-selling memoirs about it.
JSOC guys are largely "sheep dipped" temporarily into the CIA
Like everything else in the .gov, there is a lot of overlap. CAG, CIA Ground Brach, my buddy was on a team for NSA doing tech shit on day 1 in Afghanistan, plus the DEA and FBI and other Fed LE have teams that work internationally.
Because the CIA are tasked with intelligence gathering with covert action while Delta is mainly tasked for counterterrorism and direct action. Just because there is some overlap doesn't ignore that fact that said groups have completely different missions. You won't see a Delta guy running assets.
Delta or no Delta, that's a hot... operator.

Dude on the right is Vining I think his name in Bill Cronin or something like that
The story of sicario was that they were killing cartel A so more controllable cartel B could take their place. The guy that del toro plays is ex cali cartel. Did you actually watch it?
No of course he didn’t he just wants to yell about glowmorons
I thought del toro was a lawyer who's family was murdered when he stood up to the cartel?
Both I think?
He's both
oh right, havent seen it in a while. really liked it but the 2nd one was pretty bad.
It did a fantastic job setting the tone and atmosphere for the story, the second was an obvious cash grab
2nd one wasn't directed by the guy who did the first one (Dennis Villenueve) and it shows. Much more of an action movie than a thriller.
The plot of Sicario was the CIA picking winners and losers in the drug war.
Vinning has been directly asked about the Pic on the right, it's not him

No, they were the standard issue glasses for the US military. If you need glasses, those are the glasses you're issued. They are cheap as shit, and semi- rugged
standard issue "Birth Control Goggles"
zoomer hipsters are actually starting to eat them as a fashion item now. (all I'm on campus and like half the students dress like disillusioned Vietnam vets, I really don't get it)
Its because zoomers are desperate to look more mature as they dont go outside and have drastically lower T which results in decades of babyface.

At least there's always Falling Down.

uh yeah, they "won" but this is one of the cases where you don't want to be a starter on the winning team.

Well the Taliban flag is flying over Afghanistan, and the Viet Cong flag over Vietnam.
There’s McDonalds in Vietnam though
>a clown could take over Vietnam but not 2 Presidents
the viet cong was literally erased from existence by the US military you fucking retard
>Viet Cong flag over Vietnam
First of all, no it isn't you fucking retard. Vietnam's flag is the flag of North Vietnam, not the VC. Secondly, the VC were virtually wiped out in the Tet Offensive. The war was won by the NVA.

Points for realism.
guy on the left looks like a fag
this is where I live

you will NEVER guess what unit this is
Delta?

Is left picrel the guy that plays Michael Westin in Burn Notice, or is it just an uncanny resemblance?
Nvm it is him in Sicario I looked it up
so why did they lose to goat herders? what happened to accountant guy?
You don’t win by committing war crimes, otherwise ukraine would have been taken over on schedule
Wrong war, anon. Guy on the left of OP's pic is just a film character, guy on the right is a dude fighting in the Gulf War, an American victory.

Because glowmorons are gay beta gays and Delta is based hostage rescuing Chads.

non of those advertise anything. they just went discover after a few operations.

we do, it's called SAD (Special Activities Division), or informally as the Ground Branch
Never heard of them.
Because the CIA are tasked with intelligence gathering with covert action while Delta is mainly tasked for counterterrorism and direct action. Just because there is some overlap doesn't ignore that fact that said groups have completely different missions. You won't see a Delta guy running assets.
When Trump was in office, one of his appointees prohibited the agency from running solo paramilitary actions.
What's gonna happen?
falling down, the sequel?
