Military doesn't do that, that's for cops after they get out of the military.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the military's job is to point guns at people when they're going to the grocery store in other countries, primarily.

Oh, so who was the guy in digital camo standing next to the grey armored vehicle doing that?

Because im pretty sure that wasn't a cop; he looked like he might've actually know how to use his gun.

Edit: did not see crayons, but it was a few hours after lunch and there was a pretty nice art supply store nearby.

Cops have camo and rifles. I genuinely don't think the army has vehicles any color other than green, tan, and woodland camo.

Did it look like this?

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More sidewalk colored. Different hat? I think?

Nope. Wasn't that.

Im aware of what a cop looks like. I have been outside.

At this point we have a rough time and im not going to identify vehicles for location. Not gonna dox myself harder than i already have.

He's about to get out and become a cop.

No. Like i said; he was holding his gun properly.

National Guard maybe? Officially they are not military though. Edit: Yes they are I was wrong sorry

[–] asg101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

National Guard ARE part of the military, they wear U.S. military uniforms and are deployed to U.S. invaded and occupied countries like Iraq.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are officially civilians, no? I know they can be called up into active service but outside of that...

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They do both. The band "We gargle military balls" made a song about it.

Sorry I misremenbered their name.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago

Marines have also been deployed

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Except when deployed when the police are "overran".
