I keep hearing people getting all worked up when someone says this. I was wondering what exactly is an armchair commando?
|
|
a fatass civillian for life who sits on the internet all day and thinks he actually knows something about how the military works
|
|
Be careful...those dudes can kick your ass over the internet.
Most are Ex Seals. |
|
I'd tell people I'd kick their ass over the internet, but my ass kicking ability is classified. |

Hey, I like some of Tom Clancy's novels. |
|
|
Burn! |

|
there's a fix for that too |

|
cool.......the next best thing to the Pit is a Seal Commando thread
|
|
he's exempted for super funkadelic sunglasses |

Now meet another kind of person: The Grammar Nazi!
The apostrophe is wrong, unless you're talking about something that belongs to armchair commandos. |

Dude, you just blew your cover. I can probably identify your MOS based upon your last statement. Didn't you get the memo? |
||
|
Ha, I was chairborne in the Army and now I'm an armchair commando.
Sounds like I got a promotion. |
|
Sorry, I was in Sang Bang recently, with a side trip to Dang Gong...I'm behind on my classified memos. |

a very large fellow that spent all his bday money his grandma gave him on a pair of gsg9 boots and knockoff 511 vest. has quite a bit of surplus gear under hios bed and a bandolier of spent .303 british shells.
he doesn't work because he is in "school" he also resides in his parents basement. spends about 20 hrs online and approx 4 hrs at the gun shop where he works, but doesn't get paid. he often messes up paperwork and recoomends the latest weapon he saw on ghost recon. has nunchucks and chinese throwing stars in his desk drawer. carries a scanner in his geo metro. steals the shotgun news from the library. |

As for being an armchair commando.
I do not need to know how to drive a race car or how to play football, to tell who the winners and loosers were. I do not need to be a Swat profesional to be able to tell that the police at the Columbine School were a bunch of cowards hiding behind thier patrol cars while two teenagers killed children inside the school. |
|
I think the technical term is "Walleye Vision". |

The guy at work who tells you he was an "airborne scuba sniper" and expects you to believe it.....

With a smoke dispenser! G |

Ok, a little off topic, but is that guy really about to club that seal? Do they harvest them for fur or something? Or is it just a mean joke? |

They are tasty and there isn't much else to eat when you live up there. |

When I was a screendoor gunner on the nuclear submarine USS Codfish I fought seven Seals at once and kicked all of their butts despite having only one arm useful because the other was trapped in the treads of the submarine. I was then promoted to drill sergeant and was put in charge of Seal sniper training before being re-assigned to combat in Afghanistan in 1988. I was awarded the purple star and the silver heart for my heroism. |

Nope! But to make such assertions you DO have to be someone who has never faced the problems that face the officers in such a situation. And to speak intelligently about what it takes to be an NFL quarterback, it sure as heck helps to have actually been one. Chairborne rangers to the rescue!!! |

I prefer Remotely Positioned Counter-intelligence agent. Tracking worldwide evil from the confines of my office, which is of course at an undisclosed location.

Whenever I read these sort of threads, I am reminded of this flake I worked with at my first real post-high-school job in a retail store distribution center. This guy was 24, balding and flabby. He claimed to have been a Marine Corps sniper with 64 confirmed kills in, among other places, Syria. He once made the offhand comment to me, while we were unloading a truck, that if he was a homo and wanted me, there was nothing I could do to stop him. I, being bigger than him and in pretty good shape at the time, laughed in his face, which caused him to list the previously stated qualifications. He offered to bring in his Marine dress uniform so I could see all his medals.
Thankfully, he was fired not much later for attacking a UPS driver with a loading gaffe. |

I became an (arm)Chairborne Ranger after I retired from my Space Shuttle Door Gunner gig.
I'll never be over Macho Grande |
