Yeah! They need to do important stuff!
Like point guns at me while I'm going to the grocery store!
Military doesn't do that, that's for cops after they get out of the military.
Oh, so who was the guy in digital camo standing next to the grey armored vehicle doing that?
Because im pretty sure that wasn't a cop; he looked like he might've actually know how to use his gun.
Edit: did not see crayons, but it was a few hours after lunch and there was a pretty nice art supply store nearby.
Cops have camo and rifles. I genuinely don't think the army has vehicles any color other than green, tan, and woodland camo.
Did it look like this?
More sidewalk colored. Different hat? I think?

Those were cops.
Nope. Wasn't that.
Im aware of what a cop looks like. I have been outside.
At this point we have a rough time and im not going to identify vehicles for location. Not gonna dox myself harder than i already have.
He's about to get out and become a cop.
No. Like i said; he was holding his gun properly.
National Guard maybe? Officially they are not military though. Edit: Yes they are I was wrong sorry
National Guard ARE part of the military, they wear U.S. military uniforms and are deployed to U.S. invaded and occupied countries like Iraq.
They are officially civilians, no? I know they can be called up into active service but outside of that...
They do both. The band "We gargle military balls" made a song about it.
Sorry I misremenbered their name.
Marines have also been deployed
Yeah, the military's job is to point guns at people when they're going to the grocery store in other countries, primarily.
Except when deployed when the police are "overran".
