Do you find it a bit disturbing to see civilians trying to play military (tacti cool) or does flatter you?

How do you feel about "tacti-cool", the people who almost joined and act like they did (with the rifles and gear the whole 9 yards)?

I really don't care either way to be honest.

Neither. If they wanted to be something so interesting or prideful, they would have joined the real military rather than play Call of Duty all the time, roasting others over XBOX Live.

1stSgt Chris Schmidt - Even if they were considered an "expert" on a video game, it never compares to an actual pistol or rifle. You don't take into consideration of the kickback the weapon has, the process of putting a mag into the weapon, how difficult it can be when a weapon jams and you're stuck with a chamber that won't move into position to load a round. Does a video game cover that? Absolutely not. It doesn't take into effect of a situation that would cause the weapon to be disabled.

Plus you can't camp in the same position through out the mission; someone is bound to put a round in your head or chest.

No I don't find it disturbing at all, but I also don't find it flattering unless it's obviously a child. Personally I find it more as a form of entertainment. Whether it's a guy wearing different ranks or you overhear some far-fetched story, it's always nice to have a source of entertainment. Maybe you call him out in front of all the people buying him drinks.... or maybe you go over to the ugliest girl at the bar bring over a bottle and tell her a certified "war hero" over there has had his eyes on you all night and was hoping she would join him for drinks.

Either way... I leave entertained.
