Absolutely priceless.
best use for those airshiters, I mean airsofters.
yes I know it’s the Duffle Blog, but I stand by my statement.
And the airsoft foolishness has inundated eBay. You can’t look up anything in the military and gun sections without having to wade through pages and pages of their garbage. I wish eBay would give them their own catagory.

Well, are they getting deployment pay? Is this going to cost us some extra tax money?

Did you airbrush out the required red plastic tips on the muzzle of each weapon?
Did someone alert Angel Gomez?
Without a doubt, the most coherent, astute foreign policy decision this administration has made to date.

currently en route to the conflict zone via an extremely short C-130 airbus.
The wheels on the plane go round and round…
Did their Mommies pack them an extra peanut butter sandwich for later on?
“unarmed aerial drones that will only beam back video footage that everyone can laugh at later.” Damn, I’m laughing now. Priceless.
Something stolen valor creepers could go do.
Hehehehe…hope the airsoft troopers are trained-up on and issued JLIST and mask; they’re gonna need it when they hit the LZ running…
