Well, at least he isn’t styling himself as a “Ranger” or “Special Forces” flying secret-squirrel dude – that would have been just a bit too trite for any salvageable humor. And he does make a decent poster-boy for the “armed left” with his Columbia fleece and the classy new shemagh he bought on Amazon.com.

What I find ironic is that the only piece of kit he has, is a cheap sling for that scatter-cannon (which is one more item than a lot of his fellow “would-be’s” have). He’s got no ammo pouches, no blow-out kit, no headlight or flashlight… in short, he has nothing that would make him an effective field asset. This is ironic mostly because there are a metric shit-ton of resources online where (at a minimum) semi-knowledgeable folks give detailed load-outs for every imaginable combination of weapon and scenario.

Irony #2 – He probably rushed home with that Wal*Mart special and posed for that pic as soon as his two-week wait was over – I’d bet a case of home-canned tomatoes that he’s never even put a single round through that pipe. Or any other gun. Evah.

I’ll generously give him a life expectancy of “Contact plus 30 seconds”, which is about how long the 5 rounds under the barrel of that Mossburg are going to last… then he’s going to be crowned as a ‘Martyr for the cause’ in short order… so I guess he does have a lot in common with the muslims he loves enough to lay his life down for.
