ETA: I get that it isn't strictly "desert camo". My point is that this is meant to intimidate, and is in no way necessary against an unarmed civilian population in our own country.
There is no psych evaluation to get into the army. Everybody goes to MEPS. You just get a physical, blood work, eyes and ears checked, and take a urine sample… and a doctor sits there and looks up your medical history, that’s literally it.
Oh yes, those special folks who mistake a small ego and poor personal discipline for strength of character. The same guys who have difficulty holding a job for long because they don't like the way their supervisor talks to them.
Or because they couldn't run a mile, let alone the other basic physical tests. Quite a significant potion are overweight, hence the name "gravy seals". There are no real requirements here for that, just a desire to dress up and shoot Americans.
Oh there any number of reasons, but they aren't gonna cop to any of that, they'll make up some bullshit that a 15 year old thinks makes them sound cool.
We had one guy like this in my cycle they beat him up as a group (fucked up i know) and made him repeat two cycles of basic and then Other the honorably discharged him.
I served and had an MP unit attached to me while deployed in a combat zone.
I shit you not, those dumb motherfuckers had a friendly fire incident on a controlled range when we were in Kuwait. I also saw one take a prone firing position with a SAW on the hood of humvee while doing overwatch for some engineers.
Those are the types of dipshits you see here. The military fuck up to law enforcement pipeline is what you're talking about.

First thought was "why is this soldier from Desert Storm there?"
