A Little More About Tough Guy, Unhinged Tactical Response CEO Yeager...
" Apparently Yeager worked as a security contractor in Iraq, drove into an ambush, immediately forgot how to drive the manual transmission car, bailed out, spent the firefight wetting himself in a ditch whilst the rest of his team fought back, and then afterwards killed two civilians for good measure:
"Yeager 'punched the gas to the floor and the engine raced, but the car stayed stationary.' The ex-cop had forgotten that the car he was driving had a manual shift, and had failed to engage the clutch or the gears." ... "Surette continued firing until he passed out from loss of blood, while Yeager, unable to see the attackers, blasted away pointlessly at a barricade before running to take cover in a ditch on the opposite side of the road." ... "In the confused aftermath of the firefight, a vehicle headed toward the group from behind. Fearing the worst, Yeager fired into the car, hitting two people. Mark thinks they were civilians, but Yeager is certain they were 'a clean-up crew of insurgents, coming to finish us off.'"

I don't see how you can satirize people like this who are already cartoon characters.
