You served honorably in the U.S. Military, whatever branch, or have kin folk out in Harm's way, taking on or supporting the fight against the scumbags who blow up Girl's Schools and murder Civilian Medical teams, you're cool with me. Couldn't get in because of health or age or other legal prohibitions? Thats okay, 'taint your fault. But put on something like that Bozo and claim you served?

Few years back, we always had some of these wannabes at Knoxville gun shows. Gradually, the herd thinned -- personally, I think Lumpy Lambert used 'em as target frames at Knob Creek. The last show I attended featured more high heels than camo. And no, I didn't see both on the same person.Beaumonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625494207414367518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-52160146249492263562010-08-10T23:56:07.800-04:002010-08-10T23:56:07.800-04:00I dont know which is sillier.

As others have alluded here, real ones are fine folks, but quiet about their jobs. The floor manager and one assistant manager were USAF, their was a smattering of USA & USN, too. The guy running the "gun room" (not retail but storage & wholesale) was a Marine. Needless to say, it was a fun place to work.<br /><br />We had a wannabe as a regular - looked about as heavy as the guy in the photos from Gizmo - who made the unfortunate mistake of trying to engage a real SEAL in a conversation whereby Mr. Wannabe was pretending to be a Ranger-trained NCO in the 82nd Airborne.<br /><br />I had a front-row seat. It was a fun show to watch. The pretender came back, though it wasn't many, many years later. And we didn't ahve to hear anymore of his stories, either.<br /><br />BTW, thanks to all of the real ones.

Camo / fatigues everything, name tapes on peripheral gear, "combat boots" for everyday wear, and his AR is his pride and joy. His claim to fame is that his *father* was in. <br /><br />At the range he decides to show off, and rapid fires from the shoulder at the 100 yard target. I see rounds hitting the ground 2/3 of the way there, and up on the hill behind the target. Another guy says "What the hell are you shooting at???"<br /><br />I thought with all his .mil Style, he might know something about small unit tactics in case the SHTF. Nope. Not a single durned actual piece of knowledge. It's all just that, Style. I can only pity him, because he doesn't know what he doesn't know.<br /><br />WV: shunkine - Ish really bight in thuh shunkine *hic*JAFOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-77292203835599484542010-08-10T14:02:18.909-04:002010-08-10T14:02:18.909-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-14605817346150376122010-08-10T13:00:54.349-04:002010-08-10T13:00:54.349-04:00Your Wookie suit has a much more luxurious pelt th...Your Wookie suit has a much more luxurious pelt than mine. ;)<br /><br />I'm not particularly spun up about it, I just don't much like liars.<br /><br />Some people don't suffer fools gladly.

Anybody asks for my Military Creds, I'm good to go. Started doing that a few years ago when I started attending college, and some asshole Prof started spewing crap against the U.S. Military. He was shocked when I had enough of his "and you know that everyone who joins the Military can't get a REAL job, so you might as well call them Mercenaries" B.S. Pulled my paperwork out of my book bag, handed it to a classmate, had her started reading it out loud. She went a few seconds, I told her to stop, said "Thank you, you all have now heard proof that I served in the U.S. Military", turned to the Prof, and said "You care to come with me to the Dean's Office and repeat what you just said? We can ask him how his Son is doing in Iraq while we're there". <br /><br />The puke turned pale and nearly pissed himself, and stammered his way through the rest of the class. But I still went to the Dean's office and reported what had happened. The good thing is the puke was an Adjunct w/o Tenure, and he was not invited back the next Semester.<br /><br />Moral of the Story? If you're a fake wannabe, be prepared to be called on it, but don't be afraid to confront these Commie Bastards if you're the REAL DEAL. The Lefties HATE it when you remind them that Freedom of Speech runs BOTH WAYS.Bubblehead Les.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00730873284089958084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-44052026170871132602010-08-10T10:36:13.517-04:002010-08-10T10:36:13.517-04:00A coworker of mine actually was in Vietnam, and di...A coworker of mine actually was in Vietnam, and did some recon patrols (I've seen his awards). It was durned tough to get him to talk about it, and usually the only things he'd talk about were the funny things that happened (well, funny if you were in combat).<br /><br />He's retired now, and his wound (got hit with a 7.62x39) has aggravated his back problems to the point where he's now had two surgeries to try to fix the vertebrae that get nicked. He's the most easy-going fellow you can imagine...but I'd never want to see him mad.<br /><br />The thought of a chair-borne ranger attempting to appropriate the respect due to this man and his fellows is nauseating.Blackwing1noreply@blogger.com
