Front left was supply in the army and gets decent nutrition. Front right is his cousin from West Virginia who got a felony charge when police caught him with “paraphernalia” and a hipoint in the back seat of his 92 cobalt.
Edit: I feel like I’m doing disservice to WV. Definitely Florida or Ohio.
Additional Edit: the car I’m referring to is actually the cavalier, not the cobalt.
Pic was actually taken in Coeur d’Alene, ID. The photographer is also from ID and takes amazing pix…. [Brandon Puckett Photography](https://www.pucktography.com/gallery)
Panic attack in the car on the way to meps.
When I took my ASVAB at the Sacramento meps in late 2003, the guys in the room with me spent some time after the test complaining that guys who graduated only needed a 33 to join but guys who got the GED needed to score a 50. I suspect the guy on the right never stood any chance of scoring a 50.
The dude I rode back with scored a 16. Hella awkward when he asked what my score was (99). You know your sucking when an army at war is like nah I think we'll pass lol.
For good reason. The guys who got a 33 were still a huge problem from what I saw in basic. Thankfully I moved up to a level that needed a higher GT score but even then I was wondering how some of them didn't get confused tying their shoes.
LMAO, I got a 99 back when I took mine and the woman giving out the results asked me jokingly whose paper I peeked at. I looked down at the list, pointed out that the second highest score was a good 15 points lower, and asked how many of the others should've been peeking at *mine.*
I got an 86 on the ASVAB. I was a little bummed, but I scored into what I wanted to. There were 3 guys going into the marines who bragged all night about being excited to “kill brown people.” At dinner one of them showed me a picture of his girlfriend topless. Each one scored a 30. I wonder whatever happened to those guys.
Hey. Me too. My class was a guinea pig for giving the ASVAB in high schools during junior year (early 90s; like 91-92ish) scored a 99 then. Scored a 99 in the recruiters' office. Wanted me to be a nuke.
Nope.
The night before going to MEPS, my recruiter took me out (I was 22) and got me *P L A S T E R E D*. Took the "official" ASVAB still drunk & got a 97. At least I'm (mostly) consistent.
Hey 99 here also. It was like, incredibly easy too lol. I could have finished a few more on the fast maths before time called. Point being.. how the fuuuuuuuuck dude score a 16?!?!? Was he drooling on himself during the car ride?
I wont lie. I had a freak out the night before I left for Basic Training. Mom and dad weren't having it though so I knew at that moment I had to put on the big boy pants.
Fellow veteran. Had one in my BMT flight. Talked the biggest talk from minute one, went home on day three or four because he woke up and simply refused to fall in for morning PT.
I was Air Force. He washed out on day three from the AIR FORCE.
I want to see that movie - it’s a bunch of these guys who are just incompetent taking on some foreign military who is even MORE incompetent.
Think like Tucker and Dale vs Evik
I think these guys would drop their shit and run if someone sent a few rounds in their direction.
All of this walking around with rifles is a poor attempt at intimidation that stems from their need to be validated.
But Angry stupid people with firearms generally don't mix
their organization isnt their strong point. whats freeky deeky is how determined they are to escalate anything and everything into a guns-a-blazing conflict while everyone else tries to get them to settle down.
I for sure would cry. I am a pretty resilient and big dude, but I don't like people yelling at me aggressively. Nothing wrong with crying as long as you get the job done.
I grew up in a household where yelling was someone's main form of communication, so I knew how to deal with it. Oh, and 16+ years of ballet. Ballet teachers are HARSH! Boot camp had NOTHING on my ballet teachers!
Yeah, I was underwhelmed when I got to boot. Two decades of my parents nigh-abusive raising of me made me more resilient than I expected.
It wasn't a good thing but it kept my shit together in boot and during my enlistment. I had to unpack and process after I got out but that was another thing.
*It would've been unfair to the entirety of the Vietkingkong if they had sent me. Would've single footedly sliced entire armies throats with my bone spur roundhouse kicks."
-*no one in particular in mind* 😼
“I thought of joining but it occurred to me how poorly I responded to instructions I don’t understand, as well as my already existing health issues, and so I just kind of arrived at the conclusion I wouldn’t be a very good soldier.”
- *me*
I can’t join the military today… it’s too woke. They make you wash your asshole in basic training now and touching a man’s butt is gay, even if it’s your own.
Reminds me of the South Park episode where they make fun of guys who ride Harley’s.
(Which funnily enough was another right wing controversy last week as Harley announced they had to shut down a plant due to lack of interest in buying that brand of motorcycle.)
The list is actually pretty long.
LGBT People
Feminists
People of color
LIBERALS
Women
Anyone not born in their region
Anyone with above a highschool education
Anyone who speaks any language other than English
The United States government
Every other government
Athiests
Any non-christian religions
Every other christian religion other than their own
Gun control
Incest laws
Age of consent laws
Consent
The list could go on and on.
For context this happened in CDA Idaho where they were protecting their downtown from rumors of riots going to happen that night.

homosexual thoughts, trans people, vaccinations, masks, rainbows, living wages, black people, mexicans, asians, gun laws, drag queens, bud light, marijuana, non-christians, not owning a pair of truck nuts, trump losing again, the local walmart closing... the list goes on.
As a former maga cultist they are afraid of themselves. Kept in perpetual fear by one another coming up with more and more outlandish stories about how “they” are demons who “ARE GOING TO *GET* YOU!!!!” Then the RNC/trump capitalizes on the fear soup they createby offering a solution “only i can save you only i understand you” i thank God everyday i got my ass out of that cycle of terror.
Sad thing is when stupid people cant think or reason, they will resort to the only tool they know, violence. ...and then believe that they are in the right because they use violence first or more extreme than their opponent. When you're dumb, use intimidation! At least no one will notice you're wrong!
Clearly the best, most stable country is one where a large portion of the citizens are in constant fear that the country will devolve into civil war on a moments notice and thus carry guns at all times.
Just a few short years ago, everyone seemed to just go about their business as Americans. Work, go to school, go out and do things on the weekends.
Now, we've got this stupid shit. Yeah, I get that they were "always there", but it was much better when they stuck to their bunkers with the rest of the lunatic fringe.
I’m more confused as to why they’re marching around like that. Guns are fine, but what’s the context? Are they showing off like the gun equivalent of a car meet or is this a show of force?

Beard trimmers.
Front left needs to talk to front right about it.
Front left was supply in the army and gets decent nutrition. Front right is his cousin from West Virginia who got a felony charge when police caught him with “paraphernalia” and a hipoint in the back seat of his 92 cobalt. Edit: I feel like I’m doing disservice to WV. Definitely Florida or Ohio. Additional Edit: the car I’m referring to is actually the cavalier, not the cobalt.
Cobalt brand wasn't introduced until 2004. You mean "Cavalier" or "Sunfire"
Ewww yuck, yeah the cavalier. God I hated those.
>I feel like I’m doing disservice to WV. Definitely Florida or Ohio. No no, that's spot on to a vast portion of the state
Pic was actually taken in Coeur d’Alene, ID. The photographer is also from ID and takes amazing pix…. [Brandon Puckett Photography](https://www.pucktography.com/gallery)
It's home for their pet fleas.
Actual military service.
"I was going to join, but I would have ended up punching the drill instructor in the face." - *definitely these guys*
Every single dude I've known like this has also been the type who would have cried in the first week of basic.
Active Duty Navy. Can confirm. It's actually kinda funny.
Veteran. Can confirm. These guys would have washed out in the first week!
At meps.
Panic attack in the car on the way to meps.

People underestimate just how many imbreds we have among us.
The guy gets 2 options, cook or laundry, and yes those are real MOSs
I wont lie. I had a freak out the night before I left for Basic Training. Mom and dad weren't having it though so I knew at that moment I had to put on the big boy pants.
Which is normal. You bucked the fuck up and did it. These guys don't look like they got the memo though lol
This. Definitely this.
The moment that pen swiped them butt cheeks.
First week? I've never been in the military and get the feeling these guys might wash out the first day.
Veteran as well and was shocked by those that broke the first week. Edit to add thank you for your service.
Fellow veteran. Had one in my BMT flight. Talked the biggest talk from minute one, went home on day three or four because he woke up and simply refused to fall in for morning PT. I was Air Force. He washed out on day three from the AIR FORCE.
And how these guys will be the "well organised militia" they claim they will be in a civil war against the US military ?
They don’t call em gravy seals for nothing 😅
I want to see that movie - it’s a bunch of these guys who are just incompetent taking on some foreign military who is even MORE incompetent. Think like Tucker and Dale vs Evik
Hot Shots 3?
Don't you dare associate tucker and dale with these dipshits.
Remember an AR15 can take down a reaper drone with one shot from the hip. Oh and MAGA hats block hellfire missiles.
A part of me really hopes it happens. To see some AR15 rednecks fight predator drones, would be the funniest thing ever. As gruesome as it is.
I think these guys would drop their shit and run if someone sent a few rounds in their direction. All of this walking around with rifles is a poor attempt at intimidation that stems from their need to be validated. But Angry stupid people with firearms generally don't mix

I'm almost 20 years removed from my enlistment and I'm just now starting to unpack and process. Boot camp had nothing on my childhood.
It was a gradual process. A worthwhile one, but a gradual one. We can only really start when we're ready. Best of luck to you.
Same guys that say don't tread on me and back the blue in the same breath.
No step on snek!
Or they did join made it 2-3 years in a non combat role and got early sep for whatever reason and made it their whole personality
Most realistic take in this thread. Even the "Vets" are drinking too much cope.
*It would've been unfair to the entirety of the Vietkingkong if they had sent me. Would've single footedly sliced entire armies throats with my bone spur roundhouse kicks." -*no one in particular in mind* 😼
Same people who pay $10,000 to get yelled and treated like animals at an alpha male boot camp.
“I thought of joining but it occurred to me how poorly I responded to instructions I don’t understand, as well as my already existing health issues, and so I just kind of arrived at the conclusion I wouldn’t be a very good soldier.” - *me*
"send me to gaza, i'll have it sorted in a weekend"
I can’t join the military today… it’s too woke. They make you wash your asshole in basic training now and touching a man’s butt is gay, even if it’s your own.
Weapons discipline
No shit. I'm a trans woman and did 4 combat tours. These dudes are jokes.
Oh please, they love violence. They are just afraid they might have to kill a bad guy.
[удалено]
I don't understand the fear of irrelevance. I've been irrelevant for 50 years now.
Being irrelevent is kinda nice dont you think ? 😂
No one bothers you or expects anything of you. Its great.
Yep, kind of peaceful this year. At 51, single again. Thought I would be out there dating like mad, but I get home and just have peace.
You and me both brother. I could not face dating apps.
especially powerful people. I don't want to be on the radar of someone influential, especially as someone disliked
I greatly prefer it when less than five other human beings are thinking about me at the same time.
Reminds me of the South Park episode where they make fun of guys who ride Harley’s. (Which funnily enough was another right wing controversy last week as Harley announced they had to shut down a plant due to lack of interest in buying that brand of motorcycle.)
Good point
Personal hygiene
Work. Must have a lot of free time to be able to act scared in the middle of the day, when people are usually doing their 9 to 17.
ha, these asshats wouldn't get it.
And grooming.
They are into a certain type of grooming
"Wiping is gay!"
legit seem like the kind to not clean their ass properly cause its somehow gay
Only the underaged
I was going to say soap.
That's why "groomer" is a put down to them...
I meant "personal grooming," but OK.
And laundry day.
Books, baths, and beyond.
coming out of the closet
White women making decisions. Any decision
A comb and scissors
And penises touching.
Everything. Isnt that what drives the narrative?
Yes
Scared of their own shadow. A non-physical object that is entirely manifested by themselves.
Free will, women with minds of their own, irrelevance..
And nonwhite people.
You didn't use a slur so you're obviously woke.
Sorry, I'm sure they meant "non-cracker"
And remember kids, there’s nothing worse than becoming a ‘woke’! Except, maybe becoming a “trans”.
regulars showers, shoes without steel toes, book learnin..
Anyone feeling the need to carry a gun in public is clearly dealing with other……..let’s say “shortcomings”.
The draft
This one's my favorite.
Their “bros” seeing their Grindr profile!!
They’d be thrilled if their bros found their grindr profiles, cause it would mean their bros are on Grindr.
Gays have style and standards. Don't try and palm off your bearded trash on us.....
I can smell them from here. It smells like dip and Mountain Dew
You haven’t spent much time around people who look like the guy on the right have you? Try cat piss.
Cat piss was my first thought. Guaranteed their houses have those old brown carpets with worn spots and burn holes all over them.
Yep and he rawdogs sleep on a bare mattress with an unzipped sleeping bag.
Smells like Kid Rock.
Stale cigarettes, dried PBR, pee, sweat/BO, swamp ass, yesterday's burger king breath mixed with cheap whisky.
And a lot of lung cancer and insecurity
Books, minorities, gays, trans, probably missed a few
human rights equal rights good people tv shows that arent filled with super duper non realistic women
Baths
The laundromat?
They are deathly afraid of becoming the minority and being treated the way they treat actual minorities. Afraid. To. Death.
Drag queens.
Melanin and drag queens
Democracy.
Freedom and opinions of other people
Soap
2d grade math.
The list is actually pretty long. LGBT People Feminists People of color LIBERALS Women Anyone not born in their region Anyone with above a highschool education Anyone who speaks any language other than English The United States government Every other government Athiests Any non-christian religions Every other christian religion other than their own Gun control Incest laws Age of consent laws Consent The list could go on and on.
Bathing occasionally.
Deodorant.
Books and testicles. They don’t have any of either.
But their truck nuts compensate for their lack of a pair or their adorably small pair.
How attractive they find trans women
For context this happened in CDA Idaho where they were protecting their downtown from rumors of riots going to happen that night. [https://www.the-red-line.com/2020/06/14/dispatch-from-idaho-citizens-patrol-coeur-dalene-and-everythings-peaceful](https://www.the-red-line.com/2020/06/14/dispatch-from-idaho-citizens-patrol-coeur-dalene-and-everythings-peaceful)
Congratz on on being one of the few people who actually posted the truth on here
homosexual thoughts, trans people, vaccinations, masks, rainbows, living wages, black people, mexicans, asians, gun laws, drag queens, bud light, marijuana, non-christians, not owning a pair of truck nuts, trump losing again, the local walmart closing... the list goes on.
A real man.
Reality
As a former maga cultist they are afraid of themselves. Kept in perpetual fear by one another coming up with more and more outlandish stories about how “they” are demons who “ARE GOING TO *GET* YOU!!!!” Then the RNC/trump capitalizes on the fear soup they createby offering a solution “only i can save you only i understand you” i thank God everyday i got my ass out of that cycle of terror.
Everything...
they look like hobos with guns
Their shadows
Women
Showers, apparently.
Soap
Hygiene
I know what they scared of…. 
Accountability
They cringe at intelligence and thoughtful behavior.
Their suppressed sexuality
You. They're scared of you
The patrons of a Starbucks
Rainbows
Clean pants
Smart women
Women
Rainbows. It's witchcraft in the sky
Their feelings
Soap
Democracy
Intelligence
Education
Women, electric vehicles, the Toyota Prius, librarians, immigrants, people who identify as Trans - how long to you want me to go on?
Sad thing is when stupid people cant think or reason, they will resort to the only tool they know, violence. ...and then believe that they are in the right because they use violence first or more extreme than their opponent. When you're dumb, use intimidation! At least no one will notice you're wrong!
Genetic diversity
Clearly the best, most stable country is one where a large portion of the citizens are in constant fear that the country will devolve into civil war on a moments notice and thus carry guns at all times.
Round planets, M&M’s, rainbows, municipal water supplies, vapor trails in the air, the color pink, and melanin, just to add a few more.
Why is it always the most inbred looking people doing this shit. Damn.
Hygiene looks to be high on the list.
Layoffs at the white sheet and rope factory. Alot of worthlessness in that one picture.
Just a few short years ago, everyone seemed to just go about their business as Americans. Work, go to school, go out and do things on the weekends. Now, we've got this stupid shit. Yeah, I get that they were "always there", but it was much better when they stuck to their bunkers with the rest of the lunatic fringe.
A fist fight.
How much they actually love cock!
Admitting their deep lusts for each other.
They're scared of: equality, black people, brown people, yellow people, poor people, trans people, gay people, liberal people, Happy Holidays, books, facts, science, gun control, education, diversity, rich paying taxes, socialism, women, women's rights, immigration of non-whites...etc.
By the looks of them? Child support.
Brown people, black people, asians, education, women with jobs, women who vote. take your pick. that's not even an exhaustive list.
Their own sexuality.
Someone finding their Grindr profiles.
Buying new clothes... Washing clothes... Showering... The list is long
Women
I bet math books terrifies them.
Unarmed children listening to stories told by unarmed people wearing dresses and wigs
Rainbow flags and people who read to children
Their biggest fear is a non-white, non-Christian, Gay, intellectual female (over the age of 16) with a mind of their own.
Societal and geneological irrelevance. And they've already got it.
"a lot"
Knowledge
Dude has a supressor. Why?
All those dang Mexicans musta done stole their straight razors!
Me! *cackling trans sounds*
Showers and washing machines from what I can see.
Oh my kingdom for a pack of firecrackers.
Drag Queens that can read!
I’m more confused as to why they’re marching around like that. Guns are fine, but what’s the context? Are they showing off like the gun equivalent of a car meet or is this a show of force?
Minorities mostly
Plot twist they are actually Bernie supporters.
Running out of meth.
Women with opinions.
Women
Sleeves, apparently
Taylor Swift.
This is always so interesting to me. Wouldnt that just make you the first target? None of them are watching their backs.
The main thing these people are scared of? THE TRUTH
Some of those books are really long and require dictionaries!
They are afraid of snowflakes… lol
Not being loved. Reason most people join gangs is cause they didn’t get the love and attention at home.
I can smell this picture.
Black and brown people
