You KNOW it doesn't HAVE to be America's military... Hehe.

Isnt that the famous british airsoft kid?

lol it has to be a spoof as apart from his Size, look at his kit. The webbing isn't Any issue (even past issue), The Helmet is a US VERSION and the rifle also doesnt appear to be a L85 ( and there is no way in the world he is in a unit that uses anything else). The DPM Pattern looks old school US as well...








...and he's 400 lbs lol. Apart from the Gimpy in the background I would have said he was an American

That pic has been around for a good time, and is the poster boy for "Don't Be That Guy".

He may be a great kid, but he needs to back off the carbs, and drop the pounds.

I can't believe nobody quoted this. Best post of this thread, hands down.

Thanks

Actually those pics appeared in british airsoft mags. Him with two other knuckle heads in different poses with three different military styles. One supposed to be US SF (fatkid) the others are one US Marine with digitals and a british soldier with the belt fed browning. I cant find the thread here where it explains it but I believe those three kids were british.

ahh well at least they wasn't posing as something they weren't. And that's definitely a GPMG in the background, not a browning. I think you guys call them a FN MAG.

eh. i couldnt remember and I'm going off 72 hours with four hours of sleep. Suprise details are like suprise butsecks. Either way, at the end you pretty much feel raped

Just wanted to add my own experience with a guy who was not of our reality... and yes, I don't understand why some of these guys lie and eventually embarass themselves!

I have three older brothers who served in Vietnam. Two were in the Army and one in the Air Force. As a little kid, that gave me a fair idea of what the military was like at that time.

So, I'm at a pistol match one Saturday when a new guy strolls in. He's a few years younger than me and immediately starts telling me how he did this and that in Vietnam. I'm not sure if he was trying to impress me because I'm a girl or he really liked all the guns I was shooting in the match and wanted to swipe them when I wasn't looking!

Anyhow, I was 5 when I walked my last brother onto the plane when he was drafted. If I wasn't old enough back then when the war was going on, I don't know how this guy thought he could convince me that he actually served overseas for the Vietnam War.

That's when I called over my teammates to talk to this guy. These guys were Army and Navy -- and had served. That's when the term "blanket party" was explained to me by my friends-- it was pretty funny to see them set this kid straight.

lol np. No surprise Butseck intended.

Its Interesting there seem to be a lot more impersonators here in the U.S. I think its because you hold your military in a higher regard, and of course your military is massive. I still get people asking my little Bro how I am and he isn't even in the same Corp as me - small world.

If we had a compulsory draft, there'd likely be a lot less of this going on since the military would be less of a mystery to those who haven't served.

I've read it doesnt produce a good soldier generally but I saw a reality show several years ago in the UK where they got a group of drop outs with criminal records ( we call them Chavs) and put them through 1950 style Bootcamp instead of back to jail. They all improved a lot at the end of it and some actually joined up.

lol. I meant suprise work details that kept me from sleeping
