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)?

When I was a recruiter I was standing in front of a laser quest. All these young men came out dressed in random parts of Army BDUs, some with patches and name tags, and going on about how cool the whole thing was. I asked if any would be interested in serving and wearing uniforms for real. I think only a couple rocks hit me in the face as they all raced off.

Mostly I feel flattered...amused also comes to mind!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
