Some National Guardgamel type shit going on in the back of that truck.

Better hide them smurfs

Guy in a military uniform that I assume to be national guard (could be wrong), ducking away and pulling a nasty grimace stank face that reminds me of Gargamel from the smurfs

What is that guy doing supporting a white supremacist?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cosplaying. That pattern hasn't been used for nearly 7 years, the collar is up, double flag patch... Basically a stolen valor video waiting to happen.

He's a veteran, AFAIK. Not that there's any "valor" to steal.

[–] MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure even if he was a veteran, wearing his uniform in this situation is strictly prohibited

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nah. There's no special law for veterans against wearing camo. Ever been to a milsurp store?

From veteran.com :

In most cases, no matter what the specifics of the regulations for each branch of military service have to say on the subject of uniform wear by retirees and veterans, the end result is the same. You are expected to wear the uniform appropriately, on the right occasions, and you are expected to NOT promote commercial or political causes while wearing the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard

I can't find anything about penalties, so I'm assuming this is about as legally enforceable as the "flag code".
