Military memes are always so cringey
chrizyo
Yeah, guns, badass, kill, violence, grenadecock. Cool stuff.

JFC I'm seeing a lot of hate towards US Vets! SMH

#1 is a photo from David Levinthal. He photographs small figurines to make them look life size. They are about 2" tall. ;)

#1 is a close up of some plastic toys.

Man, those G.I. Joe's in the very first pic are touching...
TheOneWhoLikesRunning
The native paint are actually natives in an airborne unit...grandpa was one of the natives but not in the pic
MidlandRedux
I thought all the pathfinders did that stuff. Cool.

Does Hambo even fit in the Humvee?
Theinstigator66
I used to play OPFOR, we would always snipe the Hambo and let his buddies deal with dragging him off. Felt bad, but it was funny.
TwoVhsCopiesOfGoodfellas
Haha for fuck sake. The first picture is of toy soldiers. You'd know that too if you didn't just mass repost shit you fool.
hanslo91
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't frog men come about in Vietnam?
CarryOnMyWaywardTardis
frogmen were born from UDT underwater demolition teams in WW2, used to recon and clear beaches of items for invasions
trooperjess
Both. Frog men were though by the British in ww2.
mkg1947
You stand corrected. Give me fifty...Now, slimeball!!!
asa1967
"Like a Native American warrior" I'm fairly sure those are actual Native Americans in WWII, likely Navajo
MidlandRedux
Why would a Navajo shave his head in a Mohawk? In any event, I think those are the pathfinders who went in ahead of the airborne divisions.

What's dat propaganda shit?

#7 I think you'll find the way to pronounce that is "Acceptable Casualties"
WhatIsThisImgurIHearAbout
Really I thought it was called "war crimes"

1st rule of actual veterans... don't claim to speak for all veterans.
LearnSomething
I think I can speak for all veterans when I say your rules are flawed.
steve1907
Do you speak for all veterans when you say that's their 1st rule?
PressToSelfDestruct
Holy fuck. Kill confirmed.
Darkspire
totally bungled that one.
wastedbartender
That angel shit could be in a cringe dump about obnoxious mil fanboys/girls... Oh wait, this is a cringe dump, isn't it?

I'm going to be honest, I made this comment so I could click it without scrolling back up. Normally I wouldn't clarify, I just don't want 1

Anyone to mistakenly think I care about them. I don't even know if you exist outside of my imagination. 2

Yeah but dolls, at war..!
DefinetlyNotARussianSpy
What god damn hero!
DeckhandAdmiral
I fuckin die every-time i see that.
spudpicker
So are the grenades pre-built into the frogmen's underwear, or do they have to earn them through feats of bromance?
mrmandsome
Actually, either the dating or title of that picture is wrong. Frogmen is another name for SEALs, who weren't established until 1962. TMUK
LudeJaw
Were chinstraps issued in to the Navy in WWII?
mwoodman
I'm just mystified about carrying a grenade around on a submarine. Stow that in a weapons locker ya knob.
ithoughtitwasaboogerbutitsnot
You probably ride a fucking desk. Ya knob.
mwoodman
Okay, killer, drawing from your non-desk experiences with submarines, lets hear your "Why unsecured explosive ordnance on subs is no biggie"
IHaveAMemeForThis
But it is the soviets. They weren't known for their safety protocols
mwoodman
Those guys were UDT on the USS Burrfish (SS-312). https://www.archives.gov/files/publications/prologue/2015/winter/bakuhatai.pdf
PrecisionGuesswork
#2 drives me up a wall. It's prevents any sort of logical discussion of the military without it immediately turning into "hero hate"
LearnSomething
In my experience it is almost always older men who never served. Like 99% of the time.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Particularly tone deaf to include it so soon after this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-38808631 Little girl musta prayed wrong
InADayOrSo
God likes to hurl lightning bolts into the abyss. Sometimes he misses...
boobcat
First thing I thought of. this also proves how BS #7 is
PrecisionGuesswork
You generally want to pray for America to take out the evil you don't live with. She did it very wrong.
SlagathorTheThird
#2 maximum cringe (not to mention super duper wrong)
PresidentProTempore
It's something my uber Republican Trump supporting parents would say.
Yanov
Yeah, like fuck those guys for wanting to avoid killing civilians in a country were winning hearts and minds is a major goal.
SlagathorTheThird
Please open a newspaper once in a while
Yanov
And see what? How killing civilians runs directly against the over all goal of the occupation of Iraq?
therealVexed
I dont actually understandf the joke?
damspam
It's not a joke it's just dumb.
therealVexed
whats the dumb joke?
damspam
Girl wants some "angel" to save her from "evil". Soldier says he'll be there in 2 minutes. Meaning the soldier is the evil-vanquishing angel
therealVexed
but this isn't true? isn't he likely to save her? is it about the exaggerated egos of the americans
MOTHERFUCKINGSATAN
90% of the United States military is support. I spent 14 months in Iraq and was annoyed with my weapon because I had to carry it.
TheRenegadeSpud
Could've joined the infantry and then you wouldn't have had that problem.
TotalBungle
My wife was 88 mike. Didn't stop her from having to pick her friend's fingers out of the sand after a rollover accident.
InsertUsernameJokeHere
...Anyone else read this and think it was some kind of League of Legends joke? Just me? ok
Sully0811
Was fire support in OIF1, it was glorious. Then we dismounted, patrolled and found a beer factory!
FullMetalloidAlchemist
Should have been a tanker, our weapon's carry us
krotuskang
I was wrecker operator. My NCOs hated me so I had to haul a m249 out with me to hook up blown up stuff. I hated that.
steve1907
Don't come in here with your facts and truth.
AverageSizedDudeButSmallBoots
12N construction engineer. Did route clearance and saw some serious shit. All depends on how your unit wants to use you.
ImNotIronMan
All engineers are clearance. All the time.
AverageSizedDudeButSmallBoots
Would've been nice to know that before getting into that mess.

AverageSizedDudeButSmallBoots
That's very true. But IEDs are IEDs and will find you because humans make mistakes.
KillerTofu615
I was support in the Marines. On deployment, my rifle got used more than my skills.
HadMeSomeChickens
What about your rifle skills?
KillerTofu615
Close combat, I don't think I ever lined a shot up.
Ferrumkit
You don't need to be accurate if you're close enough to not miss :D
KillerTofu615
I was trained in close combat drills, it's all muscle memory. If you can hit a torso target at 25 yards from the hip, you pass.
Cheomesh
The heck kind of support? I know "every marine is a rifleman" but dang!
KillerTofu615
SatCon. I setup the mobile sat gear. Takes about 2 days. The rest of the deployment, if I did my job right, I never touch it.
JustAnotherPOG
Depending on timeframe and location, I may have been your D/E, unless you were just shooting to an RHN.
Cheomesh
Ah, so they send you out on patrols and whatnot? (Doing a military type writing project so user experiences are quite handy)
