It's a nice shot regardless of the implications.

That looks hella dystopian

Traitors and also shows when we have storm disasters and need help it was wasted on this.

No actually. They're doing their jobs and obeying lawful orders.

Literally twiddling their thumbs while fully dressed out in combat fatigues wasting our tax dollars by the minute. When the fuck will they turn on their handlers and stage a proper coup?

🤣 that's the standard uniform plus a plate carrier. They still have their patrol caps on. Calm down. Don't blame them for wasting your tax dollars, blame their commander in chief.

Indeed, but those soldiers are losing too. Their civilian incomes are usually higher than the poverty wages the US military provides. I would be pissed if given those orders.

Probably in high school as they're young boots.
