Are you guys soldiers / former soldier or an internet investigation team who get a hard on from seeing a gun? I swear some of you have no loving life. Oh well...

These pictures are privately mine, and yes I did the blurring myself.

Some more pictures from that day:

These are just some I randomly found; I don't really have interest in posting any more but enjoy a quick peak at the IDF special forces training.

And all the haters can get the gently caress out...

Chillax man, we're cool, post away. It's a forum of (mostly former) soldiers and sailors, and everyone recognizes the uniforms from all the pictures of hot IDF chicks

Reverse GIS just means you paste the pic in google and see what it spits out. If a dude stole the pic from another board or facebook or something it usually pops right up.

I guess this is a good enough time to ask as any other. There's gonna be a lotta words here so if I'm one of those posters you just kinda roll your eyes at, move on.

So what if he was posting pics that weren't of him? It's not like if I give him the benefit of the doubt online that if he's lying I'm going to be affected in any way. Oh no, I gave a person on the internet a chance to be honest and they lied, ugh now I don't look cool? Is that it? I've never understood it. This has always been a big sticking point with me. I believe a person should be given enough rope to hang themselves with, AKA trust someone until they prove otherwise. If I give someone the benefit of the doubt, and then it turns out that they were lying, I think it makes them look like the rear end in a top hat, not me for giving someone a chance to be honest.

If he were a person at my front door selling me "magazine subscriptions", or I was in a different web forum like GBS or Reddit or something, yeah it would be different. But this isn't a time or place where I'm going to lose money- or really anything- by going "huh well all right, that's kinda cool". If he keeps posting pictures like this and he was lying, eventually something will probably give and he'll be found out, at which time I think a rational response would be "drat man what a loving loser". But let's say that he was lying, posted lots of pics, and not discovered ever. He slips away, "getting away with it". What's the effect on me? I got to see a bunch of pictures of people with guns and my life hasn't changed one bit from it.

I guess I just don't see the logic behind "hey someone said/posted something online, they're lying by default". IMO if that's a person's initial reaction, I see that as a person who's allowed assholes to train them to have a negative conditioned response to everyone, and that just seems hosed up.

BTW pretty cool pics man

Oh, for some reason I thought he was the guy that was a field artillery officer before making it into Special Forces. Guess that was someone else. Or I'm just crazy and there never was a FA officer goon that made it through SFAS and the Q course.
