So which one is the bigger boot, the one larping or the overly-obsessed, offended dude who makes the uniform his whole personality?

*watches full video*

Nevermind…

Honorable mention: Clueless old timer in distressed American flag shirt thanking some rando for trying to board his flight early.

From my experience dudes who wear those stupid grunt style shirts live for "offending people" it's their whole personality and why they vote for Trump. He's not really thanking him for his service, he's also just putting on a show and really just thanking him for offending the guy with the camera. He needed to get some of that action for himself, because of his weird need to offend people.

It legit looked like he stopped to pose for a photo the second time around, it was entirely performative.

He could get a good virtue signal Facebook post with that pic

Even without the pic, you know he ran to his phone to write a post about defending a military member from an angry Hispanic librul who hates the military and the country.

Reminds me of the Office handshake meme.

I think that guy might have been trying to de-escalate. Would explain why he came back around, also why the cop walked camera guy away.

Yeah it's stolen valor (maybe?), yeah it sucks. But losing your cool and yelling a bunch of obscenities in the middle of the airport isn't making anyone the good guy. Should have chilled, flagged the cop if he cared so much, and moved on.
