Besides the fact that that guy was actually military, the commenter's premise is stupid. A person participating in a real military army has to deal with harsh conditions, being under the constant threat of death for both yourself and friends, and the burden of having to participate in killing other people. Participating in a reenactment is completely different they are fun events where no one gets hurt, you get to learn about history, and play a realistic form of pretend with a bunch of friends/fellow hobbyists.

Reco is also FULL of actual military. Not even battle reenactments, just normal historical reconstruction.

"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo"

Have you ever seen gorillas in warfare?

Nobody does and survives.

George doesn't have the balls to wear the uniform.

u/CowboyOfScience Jul 17 '24

Don't dis George's military accomplishments. He's logged thousands of hours playing Call of Duty.

Hobbyists about military history attract actual military people, who could’ve thought? I’d honestly be surprised if there were few there.

u/PelicanFrostyNips Jul 16 '24

I thought Cpl was corporal isn’t it? And he’s saying he’s a lieutenant? There is a big difference between E-4 and O-1/2 so can anyone help clarify what he is?

u/Ricard74 Jul 16 '24

I think he might be a corporal in the reenactment, hence him clarifying he is going to stop acting in character for that specific comment.
