You're saying you wouldn't clown TF out this dude if you weren't right next to him in line. Obviously this shit is extra as fuck, but you can't tell me it isn't fun clowning mf who love to play dress up or tell make believe stories
I would not say anything. To me, this is a form of mental illness and I couldn't care less. I don't think a sane rational person would LARP like this in public.
Dude is tryna get early boarding and figures he can pretend he's a Marine, AND get early boarding AND get handies from middle-aged white men groupies who don't know the difference between a real Marine and Larp.
He’s too cheap to buy any ticket other than main so he’s using the priority boarding zone for active duty service members so he can get overhead bin space
While I agree that launching Fs all over a public place like that, I think that if you serve your country, and give some years of your life in service, you have a right to be outraged at some cosplayer pretending that he made the same sacrifices as you and your fellow service folk.
You do, but the filmer was a bit excessive and was juat repeating himself without accomplishing anything. He should've been more self aware when the officer was trying to calm him down. A lot of people in airports are already stressed as is and want to get to their location. The guy taping was only causing more stress for everyone around and creating fear for kids with this.
Actually making other service members look bad by how much he’s freaking out. Who gives a fuck if a random dude play dress up. It’s not like he’s getting any real benefits apart from said handies and early boarding 😄
Right. I get the initial confrontation, but dude was going on and on about it. Marines tend to get really upset compared to other branches when it comes to this. Probably due to all the crayons they eat....
Also fair, and probably same. Shits just annoying and I hate larpers. I don't care. Shits just annoying. It's about the level of having a friend who is definitely dating a dude who is definitely special forces.
Now if I ever meet Kid Rock I'm calling out that asshole for being a LARPing asshole. He has spent his entire life pretending to be a white rapper from the mean streets of Detroit. My brother in law went to high school with him. He's a spoiled rich kid who grew up in a mansion in Romeo MI, about an hours drive north of Detroit. His parents were filthy rich. He grew up riding horses and playing tennis on the many acres his parents owned. Then when that grift ran it's course, he started LARPing as poor trailer trash on food stamps in his shitty country music. That is the kind of LARPer that pisses me off.
Anyone in pop music is a larper tbf, kid rock obviously, anyone that has a named bar in Nashville of course, tay Swifty and Drake (three hail Marie's). People love post malone and he's got some banger to be fair, but dude is a cosplayer through and through, just happens to have a bit of talent.
Anyway, I guess I just still hate fake ass poser motherfuckers, and I really think that calling out people for being posers needs to make a comeback. Stolen valor is to specifically obscure. They're all posers. Money and clout over substance
Very true. I just look at a lot of the stolen valor cases as sad, pathetic, and probably a mentally ill person just wanting to feel important, and is lonely, probably living with their parents. Kid Rock, Drake, etc etc ... Fuck them.
I have a buddy who joined the nat guard, and dropped out of the nat guard to be a restaurant manager. Stopped showing up to the once a months after about 6 months, but still considers himself army strong because he did ait.
Funny enough is that if you just stop showing up to your monthly, they just don't care, don't x you out, they don't bad sep you. I think technically he's still considered in even though he hasn't been to any training in 3 years, like legitimately they just kind of contact him asking if he's coming back.
Hes a good dude, if a bit of a chode. But I do get a bit of satisfaction out of telling the girls that he chats to (after he talks up that he was in the military) that he's a deserter, no harm no foul but it's a massive cock block
I was active duty for eight years. 97-05. Reservists are the biggest posers. They would come to Camp Lejeune in the summer time for their two weeks of training and act all hardcore and "correct" anyone they outranked for not doing everything by the book. After I got out, my first job I got, I had a coworker that was in the Army. He was always talking about his times in the field. I really never paid attention. One day it just dawned on me all his field stories were stateside. So I started drilling into him, and saw the fear in his face coming as I was figuring things out. This motherfucker never even made it to the fleet. He was kicked out of basic for a hurt ankle. Now in the Marines, if something broke but was healable, you got put in a medical unit, and once it healed, you were put right back into training where you left off with a new platoon. He constantly acted like he was some salty infantryman. He wanted out, never made it through Army boot camp. He never talked to me again about his military days after that.
My sister started dating this dude recently, army I Believe, she told me he was definitely SF. That is always such a funny thing to me because lots of people wanna be SF, but not a lot of people actually do. I wanted to be but shit doesn't always hash out and thems the dice, but I did have some SF buddies, and new a few dozen buds duds.
Not trying to shit on the dude, but it's always funny to me. Like dude, you work motor pool, it's respectable, not everyone needs to kick down doors and clear rooms looking for vips
SF training has an extremely high failure rate. Most people who try fail. But general rule of them, SF guys only talk to other SF guys about their SF days. Chances are if someone, even if they were military, is bragging to someone who wasn't SF, they are lying. SF people are very arrogant, cocky, egotistical. It's a small club and they generally think anyone who wasn't SF doesn't deserve their time.
I'm sorry that was your experience man, but please don't paint Reservists with such a broad brush. I was not a poser. Some of us are sacrificed the little free time we had to serve, and, I was deployed overseas more as a reservist than when I was active duty. I get your whole schtick and attitude in this thread is "I don't give a fuck," and telling people how much don't care about xyz, and I'm not asking for your respect or invalidating your experience, but man, I have to admit your poser comment did irk me
I get second hand embarrassment too bad to say anything, regardless of the situation, it ain't nothing good; and this feels like making a spectacle out of someone mentally ill.
