Looking at the Anonymous Soldier Types in Photos

 
of the DC area, what strikes me is how much tactical gear they are all wearing. Body armor, shields, heavy boots, helmets, facial masks and shields.

How are they going to fight anyone when weighed down by all that gear? How would they run away, even? If someone pushed them and they fell, how would they get back up?

It looks to me like they're there only as an image of intimidation. I can't imagine they'd be of much use in an urban skirmish with thousands of protesters.

Useless soldiers...
Well, looking at the first photo Rockhead posted, my guess is that the "anonymous soldier types" wouldn't have been worried about doing anything, since the Secret Service will never be constrained by the need to use rubber bullets and tear gas against anyone looking to harm the president. Just sayin'.

I think MM claims to have served in the Air Force a long time ago.  He has no idea that what he's seeing these troops in they actually train in.

14. They certainly aren't equipped for close combat.

All that gear just makes them clumsy and awkward. An idiotic display of costumery.

They're just cosplay soldiers.


MM is a joke.

Unbeknownst to DUmmies, soldiers and even reservists train with all of that tactical gear and they're good to go with it on. I assume that if an Antifa-type decided to test the DU cosplay theory, they'd be only too happy to engage.

Well, MM you crossed over into the field of being the typical DUmmie.  Too lazy or stupid to do a little research before running your mouth about a subject you know nothing about.

The one picture he posted look like the uniformed Secret Service, and yes lurking DUmmies there is more to the Secret Service than the Presidential detail.  Second the uniformed services have been routinely wearing full body since the Iraq war started.  They get it issued when they arrive at their duty station and train as they fight.  So you idiots go ahead and underestimate them at your own peril.  The only thing that will save you is that the Rules of Engagement won't let them SQUASH you like a bug.

And lastly, your useless soldier comment,  Well F**K YOU  :bird: :censored:
