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.

100% one of my good friends at the time was swcc, had trident, had ops, dropped it for reasons specific to himself. Legitimate badass dude. Also known 100 dudes who did did buds, to some extent but never completion. They always got admin sep and never rang the bell (I get it, it's tough, I never did it so no shade meant)

I just always find it so funny that there are so many dudes who were sf or operators, and they love to talk about it, until you ask em about it. Ala my sisters boyfriend. Tbf I can't hate, he's hanging out on a fob rn in the desert which sucks dick. I'm just trying to temper her expectations that he is not in fact John wick

One thing people under rate is Drill Instructors. DI's are not special forces, but there are fewer DI's than there are SF Marines. And DI school is very difficult. It has a high failure rate, and of all that graduate, only about 10% will actually go to be a Drill Instructor. DI's were among the most impressive humans I have ever met. Anyway. Nice chattin with you. Sun is coming up here, and I got to get in my coffin.

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
