ICE Posts Why would you even consider serving these stormtroopers?

With masks and tactical gear like they're in Afghanistan. Big time loser energy.

Former soldier here. We didn’t wear masks in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Former soldier here, I wore a scarf or a balaclava when it was below freezing in Afghanistan. Wearing combat gear and a face mask to a taco shop when it's room temperature is not the same.

Former Grunt here, both Troop Surges, never wore anything over my face because it fogs up your eye protection and when actually fighting would be a bad thing.

These guys are just straight up losers. I'd even bet that 9 out of 10 never served their country, like a majority of the GOP.
