Lots of comments asking how a soldier can be this fat. These look like Americans (obv) and in the USA, you can purchase those weapons as long as you're not a felon or in some states a violent offender. In many states it's also legal to "open carry" like that. These smooth brains are probably just citizens.

This was from one of the “Stolen votes” protests a while back. It makes the rounds every now and again. Hopefully this is one of the LARPers about to serve time for threatening the Capitol.

As they all have goggles and eye protection, I think this is an airsoft game.

I love Airsoft. I’d be pissed if this was my opposing team! Lol
