Walking through the mall today I saw a fellow decked out in military
stuff. His accessories included a camo jacket, camo pants, a camo
hat, and even dog tags. The hat even said South Pole on it. Is it "pimp" to impersonate our serviceman? Do they think they are cool? I think anyone who has enough balls to walk around in full military camo, including dog tags, should be thrown into the military. It would not have been as bad if it wasn't for a number of things. One of these being dog tags, this kinda pissed me off. They are used to identify dead soldiers, and this ... imbecel(sp) ... wears them thinking they are "bling". If he actually wore his hat right, not backwards and tilted back, but frontwards and on strait. If his jacket was actually made of stuff the military uses, not some cheap crap. Edit* Thinking back, I guess it all made me about equally mad. [/rant] -------------

Yea, I hardly doubt anybody would walk around in full dress with dog tags for no apparent reason. He was probbally involved with the ROTC or Reserves. -------------

I think wearing cloths that make you look like you are enlisted when your not is disrespecting the soldiers that protect you is disrespectfull but wearing dog tags is understandable ------------- Be care full! Sigs earn strikes |

| I think that wearing dogtags if your not in the military is dierespectful. BUT, if you are wearing a dead friend or family members tags its ok. I also think walking around in full camo and such is disrespectful. Id have shot him right there if he was wearing dress blues and wasnt enlisted. That is serious disrespect. |

Ok, guys, you blew it way out of perporation(sp?). I'm not mad, just
annoyed. Trust me, this guy has no affaliation with the
services. His crap was
from a South Pole type store. His jacket wasn't anything like
what the military wears, their clothes are made of cloth, to better
conceal themselves. This guy's jacket was made out of shinny
plastic looking stuff. I have nothing against people wearing
dogtags, but he tried to be cool and add that last touch of bling which
was unnecissary(sp). Jmac, your dog tags were your grandfathers, and I respect him for fighting in a war, and I respect you for wearing them out of remberance for him. That is about the exact opposite of what he was doing. -------------

*Addressed to no one in particular* Hmmmm.... What about when teams like the OMHW dress up in camo's and adopt tactics out of military manuals? Or when you or others like you wear B.D.U.'s to play woods ball? Why is this guy's transgression worse than any of you playing at being soldiers on the paintball field? |

No, I promise that I will say the Pledge of Allegience and 10 Hail Mary's every time I see someone who meets your criteria wearing camo's and attack anyone who wears camo's who doesn't meet your criteria. Please let me know which soldiers of fiction are o.k. and which one's aren't so I will know. |

After you described his shirt as shiny and plastic...
Yeah, I hate that too. It's one thing to wear camo, it's another to wear cheap fake camo and look like somebody from the Village People. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die.

So by me making this thread pointing out his ignorance, I am all of a sudden limiting his clothing options? I don't think so.
It is different because when playing in the woods I wear camo to be camoflauged.... imagine that. I don't think he was exactly trying to blend into the surrounding trees..... in the mall... -------------

Why would he waste money on crap from the same store that has "fat albert" and other such stuff when he could get it for free from the services? You do know what South Pole is right? -------------
