This little video embedded below, of the real life gamma Captain Sobel in the excellent Band of Brothers series, demonstrates that the concept of the Gamma, and the worst thing that can happen, a gamma in a position of authority over others, is a real concept that has been well described by Vox Day.
As an aside, while it is true, and something I expected right from the start of the video that the men benefitted from the gruelling training, I feel that this was more despite Captain Sobel rather than it being an intentional effect he was going for regardless of personal cost.
The clue is in the fact that he was vindictive, held a grudge, and was overall a bad leader, but expected to be seen as the perfect Captain. His harassing the men on the smallest detail, had nothing to do with making them more efficient, and everything to do with making (in his own mind) him appear to be a “perfectionist” and/or having standards higher than everyone else. Which is also what drove him to take part in the training exercises, but, however, disappear for pretty much the rest of the time, where he clearly shirked the duties he instead piled on and gave to Winters.
I would bet that if had ever lead Easy Co. in actual combat for any length of time, it would have been quite likely that he would have suffered some fatal “accident”.
From Wiki: “Sobel was born and raised in a Jewish family in Chicago, Illinois.[3]”. Chicago! That explains why. Probably a pampered Gold Coast denizen. I can’t find any other clues in that sentence that would explain Sobel’s behavior… I will have to dig deeper.
It is a fact rthat some ethnicities will tend to display certain aspects of the SSH in a more pronounced way.
Bruuh sobel was a jew. A jew covertly/overtly lashing out on the goyim
