Ego Building, yet again James...

James Yeager


I keep getting called a "coward" by men that would NEVER say it to my face for doing what SF, Rangers and SEALs do in an ambush. I look forward to the day when when one of these keyboard commandos work up the nerve to say something to my face. I have been waiting 7 years now...

Funny how it's all positive info, and he keeps deleting the people actually commenting about it.

James, quit being so confrontational regarding this; and people may leave you alone. Quit being an internet tough guy, and it may stop as well.

Fact is, you left a wounded guy without cover. Coward or not, you were only interested in saving your own hide. Take that as you will

Cliffs Notes version for those of us who have been largely ignoring most of anything that has "Yeager" in the title? I tried watching one of his videos but couldn't get past the ego, language, and poor production.

Am I the ONLY one who finds it ironic that he calls people out for doing the EXACT SAME THING he's doing?!?

"You're a coward for not saying it to my face"...yet neither is he. He's also protected behind hundreds of miles and the internet. Not many people would find value in spending so much money and time in making a trip to break his nose and go to jail.

More to the point, many of us think it's moronic to resort to physical violence because of a verbal disagreement.

He wants people to travel to him so he can "beat them into a pancake".

This right here. The thing is, he is counting on people with his obvious low maturity level to think he's cool and pay his bills.

Mmmmm. Pancakes...

Agreed. It truely indicates his level of "professionalism"...or rather the LACK there of.

Regardless, I would thoroughly enjoy seeing an ego check on camera and after seeing his level of output on that TV show video clip...I'm fairly certain it wouldn't exactly take a "Johny Commando" to do it like he wishes to portray to his fan base.

Has this guy ever addressed what happened and explained himself in his own words? Just curious.

Not publicly.

Sadly there are many of them out there.

I'm one of the most experienced people in my area of expertise and I teach a lot and have other people teach under me (I "train the trainers"). But I don't go around promoting myself all the time so I can often slip in "under cover" and it's fun to watch the people who try to name drop the people they trained under, not knowing that those are the people I taught, and I have a pretty good idea of how good an instructor that person is or isn't.

Knowing a subject well is only a small portion of being a good instructor. There's a lot of people teaching out there who know a subject well but who are **** poor instructors. Some of the best instructors I have under me are the people who are only mediocre at the subjects, but who really understand and relate to the students and can get the students to understand at a fundamental level.

But you're not as cool if you don't tell everyone how cool you are!

I'm so hip I have trouble seeing over my pelvis. I'm so cool...

But are you a warrior or a keyboard commando?

I'm just zis guy you know...

He seems like a guy who isn't worried about what people think of him as long as they are learning what he has to teach.
I know you were joking, but I wanted to answer serious.

Yeah, it was a rhetorical satire of Mr Yeager's I'm a BAMF attitude towards civilian tacticians. you don't have to be a "warrior" to want to be tactically sound

 

[Rookie]

I knew where you were going, but I also knew he wouldn't answer. It's called humility, which is something James doesn't have.

I really don't care what people think of me either. I wear boots and T-shirts and not always clean shaven most of the time even though I work in a "professional" environment now and can make a descent living at it.

The difference however is that although I don't care what people think of ME personally, I love guns and don't wish to lose my rights. Therefore, I conduct myself professionally when in the public eye in any form and otherwise representing the gun community.
