Tough choice this week. Depending upon what the objective of the mission is, each choice has its merits; however, for me personally, I would choose stealth over speed.
For me, there's something about the psychological aspect of keeping your enemy off guard, (as well as fearful) and wondering where and how you might strike next that seems better than arriving somewhere, "first with the most".
I will say that Zachary's original comment has some merit - no one expects the Spanish Inquisition! - and it can scare the shit out of people in a way that speed may not be able to

Well I spent most of my career on/with tanks, so you can probably guess where I'm going :)
ReplyDeleteC'mon readers - sound off!
Only problem with stealth is that a 10 year old goat herder can randomly screw up your ninja-esque infil.
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I read your reply Matt, because you are absolutely right. Maybe I should just hitch a ride with Brant on the back of one of his tanks?
ReplyDelete"sneaky like voodoo ninja" only works 'til my thermal sights get cranked up.
ReplyDeletethen it's sabot-through-the-left-ventricle and I'm already scanning for other targets :)
