Him wearing that hat is pretty hilarious.

what does it say? "Once a warrior, always a ___"?

"Once a marine, always a marine"

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

thanks, idk why I thought it said warrior

[–] spacequetzal@lemm.ee 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The fact that the marines didn't demand he take his hat off speaks against their own values.

They should not make an exception because he is the vice-president.

[–] Donjamos@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They probably don't want to talk to him. Not even for that

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 3 days ago

You know you are so hated when no one wants to talk to you even though you are disrespecting everyone.

I swear Trump keeps this guy around to make himself look good in comparison.

Vance had one job: to be younger than Joe Biden.

REMOVE YOUR FUCKING COVER MARINE!!!!!!

[–] Beryl@jlai.lu 10 points 3 days ago

He has to wear it to remind everyone, else no-one would ever believe he once was in the Marines. As a military journalist.

"My daddy, Peter Thiel, says that I get to wear a hat at the table. My daddy, Peter Thiel, says that I get to be vice president. My daddy, Peter Thiel, says that my children don't hate me even when they say that they do. My daddy, Peter Thiel, sa......"

I am surprised Vance wore his pajamas to lunch. He looks like he lost his luggage.

[–] yoshman@lemmy.world 32 points 4 days ago

Why don’t you wear a suit? You’re at the highest level of this country’s office, and you refuse to wear a suit? I just want to see, do you own a suit?

Lol he's wearing a henley to meet with soldiers. A fucking henley!

Vance: Pulls out a box of crayons with a big dopey smile, shakes it a bit.

Ah, ah? Hehehe.

Marines: Absolutely no change of expression or behavior.

How do you do, fellow patriots!

Why do their uniforms look like the Canadian camo pattern?

Edit: MARPAT (US marine pattern) is straight up copied from CADPAT.

I think digital/pixelised patterns look unbelievably generic on any countries military. However the colours here look even worse than Canada's (they get a pass as the inventor of pixelised patterns). It just doesn't fit with America, does it?

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Isn't being hard to distinguish and generic kind of a win for camo?

[–] wieson@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

I don't know. Ideally you want to be hard to distinguish from nature, but once you spot someone, you want to know if it's friend or foe. That's why Ukraine wears bands of yellow, green or blue tape around their helmets, knees and shoulders and Russia the same in red or white.
