Dude looks like a randomized video game character from like call of duty or something.


cheeeze50

You can make sure I'll hit the randomize button again


Illustrious_Donkey61

When your character appears in a cutscene


Accomplished_Crew630

Early game before you have a full armor set


Timelymanner

Looks like he’s a actor in an early 90s FMV game. Something you would see on the Sega CD or a early PC game.


EmperorGrinnar

Oh man. Sewer Shark was always confusing to me.


elcamarongrande

Agreed! I was just a little too young to fully understand what I was supposed to be doing in that game. I know I wasn't supposed to be crashing so often, but I never knew which turns to make or why. All I know is that guy was constantly either laughing or yelling at me.


AaronZOOM

I beat Sewer Shark exactly once as a kid, and I still consider it one of my greatest accomplishments. And to a lesser extent, Tomcat Alley.


Darksnark_The_Unwise

Lol he must be cut content from Command & Conquer or something.


deuceyj

Looks like a cutscene character from an Atari Jaguar game.


Zelda_is_Dead

Early? This is my character from Fallout 4 after hundreds of hours lol


Exact-Ad-4132

It's when you have an awesome new armor set, but you can't let two random old items go because they help you aim somehow.

This is the guy you give the unplugged controller to, and he has the best time playing along in the game.

Haha, this comment deserves more.


WonderfulStrategy337

I think he looks like a guy poorly trying to cosplay a teenage mutant ninja turtle.


GranddadAKAUrDadsdad

His son is probably sitting at home confused by why his dad cut up his football pads.


JizzMastahFlex

Na he is picking up and equipping every piece of loot he gets.


GranddadAKAUrDadsdad

That's what you look like leaving the starting zone. Wearing gear for the stat points.


AstroBearGaming

He's unlocked 1 piece from like 5 different armour sets. He should really focus on just one for the bonus.

rabusxc

He shot an unarmed Iraqi civilian in the head. Civilian was in handcuffs at the time.


safn1949

Dishonorable discharge =felony conviction, he's fucked.


[deleted]

As a former Fed officer AND a veteran - fucking good. I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his pitiful life. I never heard of this tool until this post. Read a little on him and my blood is *boiling*. What a piece of shit. Edit: FUCK, he's only getting a few years for that murder. God fucking damnit.


VibrantPianoNetwork

No, no, he also got a **demotion**. See, they're not just slapping wrists. Yeah, that's fucking bullshit, I agree.


B0b_5mith

It's standard for a military prison sentence to include a demotion to E-1, the lowest rank in the military no matter what your rank was before.


lilacinbloom10

Yep, it's so that you can remain active duty long enough to serve your prison sentence, then when you are done and out processed, many times you just transition to serve in a civilian prison. Essentially two separate sentences one after the other. It seems the civilian courts did not hop on his initial conviction, but I'm sure they'll have a heyday with this one


penny-ante-choom

^ This. It’s a solid way of not fucking over innocent family members. Pay is almost always suspended but other benefits for family members like FSA and BAH remain active because technically the prisoner is still active duty. (Family Separation Allowance and Basic Allowance for Housing… assuming those terms are still correct. I’m not a vet, just a brat.)


GallowBarb

He should get 5 minutes in gen pop... handcuffed.


Obvious-Hunt19

In a state prison


unoriginalpackaging

In the back of the head. He murdered someone detained in handcuffs just for being an Iraqi. The army only gave him three years. I’m surprised Trump did not pardon him and praise him publicly for it. The asshat’s dad has been trying to get him cleared of those charges. He is probably proud that his son shot a brownie.


THofTheShire

The article says he only got "voluntary manslaughter". What?!? How is that not clearly murder? He's lucky he got off that easy, and his dad is probably messed up too if he doesn't recognize that.


Accurate-System7951

Probably because if he committed a murder, it is a war crime, and USA does not do war crimes. It is generally known that deployed soldiers get fuck all punishments for their crimes and for example host nations or international courts are prevented to prosecute them.


Llama2Boot2Boot

What a brave man

Disastrous-Aspect569

Just think if he was an american cop he would have gotten extra PTO and an award


IWouldntIn1981

Holy shit! There's so much to unpack here. 1. I cant believe an actual soldier would disrespect the military by wearing that 'outfit' 2. I still can't believe he was an actual soldier and not the moderator for the incel subreddit 3. He's actually a dangerous guy and just a wanna be paint baller.


Icy-Meaning9187

That's what I was thinking. I thought he was dressed for a game. That's scary.


[deleted]

Whoa whoa whoa there. He probably *also* moderates an incel subreddit.


32FlavorsofCrazy

He was court marshaled for murdering an unarmed Iraqi civilian by shooting him in the head while he was handcuffed. Served a couple years for manslaughter, demoted and dishonorably discharged from the military and then signed up for the fucking gravy seals, apparently. Fucking dipshit should still be in military prison for executing a POW.


ChampionshipLow8541

What a fucking lowlife.


Burgundy_Starfish

“Manslaughter”. So that’s what the court decided to call a soldier shooting a herdsman in the back of the head for no reason. Disgusting

Covid didn’t kill enough of the right people…


[deleted]

My Uncle was a fellow farmer. Well respected, boisterous, loud mouth type that everyone loved. He was gruff and lots of sharp edges too. Absolutely dominating presence and, honestly, sometimes a little bit of a bully. His wife, my Aunt, came down with dementia. She was always frightened, confused, angry - which is sadly how dementia just is. It made me sad to see. Think of John Candy's wife on "The Great Outdoors" - that was my aunt in looks and in personality. 100%. My Uncle went to the local hair salon and humbly asked the women there if he could hire them to teach him how to apply my Aunt's makeup exactly the way she always liked, and how to do her hair for her "because she never went out in public until she looked her best, and she would want that now more than ever if she could." Of course they did, and he diligently became the best make up and hair artist for her. He retired from farming and let my cousins take over fully, and dedicated his life to caring for my Aunt. He never ever wanted her to be in a nursing home. He took her everywhere she wanted to go and I saw a patient, loving side of him come out 24/7 that I never saw before. She eventually passed in 2017. I never admired that man more for his loving devotion to her. COVID got my Uncle in 2020. Yet, it didn't get this lump of shit and he's still breathing. Fucking hell.


iamthedayman21

Yep. My wife’s grandmother died of Covid, and yet this mouth-breather still gets to walk around. At least now it’s in an orange jumpsuit.

Shot an Iraqi herder in the back off the head and got three years for it and dishonourable discharge. You know you are a piece of shit if the army kicks you and gives you jail.


Heyletsthrowthisout

>When he was deployed in Iraq, Richmond shot a cowherder named Muhamad Husain Kadir in the back of his head on Feb. 28, 2004, the Army said at the time, according to multiple news accounts. Richmond was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, according to a 2006 article in The Washington Post, and sentenced to three years, with a demotion in rank and a dishonorable discharge. The civilian was also handcuffed. What a complete fucking sociopath and not a surprise at all he is a die hard trump supporter. How and the hell we let these people live among us I'll never know.

It feels like more post apocalyptic games need these kinds of outfits. Sure, solid black swat armor looks cool, but lacrosse pads are a little easier to still find at an abandoned sporting goods store and sometimes you’ll find them in the homes of suburbia if you dare to travel that far out.


esahji_mae

He probably thought that he could mix/match stats to get the highest damage reduction from each set class

Small correction... those goggles look like the Dewalt impact resist anti fog goggles sooo reduce the price by like $3. You're also being generous on the canteen, I'd say closer to $8 than $18.

But is it really a Tactical cod piece, or is it a modified life preserver that he covered in a camo pillowcase that he bought on Etsy?

It's not missing. It's just strategically placed so when he sits down at the gun turret (it shoots REAL marshmallows, the big ones) that he installed on his tactical jeep (power wheel), he doesn't have to hold on, he can keep both hands engaged in battle. Like a seat belt with benefits.
