[DuneBoer]

It Photoshop or he is dead . I see no Tourniquets, and a hardcore chain-Smoker can calmly manage to keep that Cigarette going through about anything .

[spartan67]

I agree. Fake as shit!

 

[Country]

Ridiculous .

 

[Blutroop]

Yup. No American soldier would be taking that pic instead of tourniquets to legs.. he himself would be using his ifak on his waist himself.

 

[--BLACKOUT--]

White privilege! Any other race would've dieded from those injuries!

 

[Longshot231]

It's fake as can be. The person who doctored that photo is sick as well. There are enough of our people getting killed or maimed without this stuff being produced.

I won't post it here because I don't want to cause anymore grief for the Marine in the meme that I saw.

The Marine was in his dress uniform and his entire face and head were disfigured beyond recognition by burns.

The sick bastard wrote on the meme "I'd like to wear sunglasses but I don't have any ears."

The sick son-of-a-bitch that wrote that ought to have his face lit up with some napalm and see how it feels.

My apologies in advance if what I have relayed here has offended anyone or upset them but we ought to do something about these sick bastards that make light of someone else's suffering.

Seeing the meme is even more upsetting, which is why I didn't want to show it.

The photo is undoctored, but the assumed story is fake.
It's from a training exercise.

"An amputee in full makeup before role-playing a casualty during a run of the Medical Trauma Lane. He role-plays having his legs blown off in a Humvee explosion four times a day. "

That dude is a bad ass! Likely a vet who uses his tragedy to help others avoid their own! All you guys assuming the worst...

That is what I get for assuming. I take back what I said in the previous post about that photo.

On the other hand I don’t make any apologies for my comments about the creep that made fun of the disfigured Marine.

I was thinking some sort of training/mockup scenario.

Wasnt expecting it was an actual banged up vet role player.

Man some people just cant/wont stop giving of themselves.

We should be thankful for them.

Tough psychological bastards....how would you like to relive your own personal trauma four times a day?

We do it all the time. Generally the training unit comes up on an IED detonation or similar with casualties that are real amputees and have fake appendages. The look on most private’s faces is priceless when they go to render aid and have the limb fall off in their hands. It’s really good train.

You can also tell instantly by the chairs and the buildings it’s not really down range if you’ve ever been there.

Many of them are not vets, maybe 50% are?

And final note.

No body armor, weapon, IFAK, magazines, eyepro...

I guess I wasn’t looking close enough. Just looking at his eyes. That was enough to make me wonder.

 

[softcock]
