OK wait hold on, serious question, who the FUCK is behind him? UCP pattern was completely phased out of the army years ago. I can sort of make out "state" something on the name tape that usually says branch, and there definitely isn't an American flag patch anywhere.
Edit: state guard. Basically disaster relief like national guard but can't be federalized.
You just sent me down a rabbit hole of US state militia history, and now I feel like the 2d Amendment actually makes sense—people were expected to have their own weapons so they could be called by the state into militia duty if needed. Our current 2A precedent is so far off base it’s insane.
I get the feeling that if there is something going on in this political climate where looting is happening chances are the looters will be armed for protection and that if DeSantis's compensation army starts firing, they might be surprised.
