    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?

            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.

          He’s about to get out and become a cop.

        Except when deployed when the police are “overran”.
