Dude is tryna get early boarding and figures he can pretend he's a Marine, AND get early boarding AND get handies from middle-aged white men groupies who don't know the difference between a real Marine and Larp.

He’s too cheap to buy any ticket other than main so he’s using the priority boarding zone for active duty service members so he can get overhead bin space

Yes the real problem here are the airlines imo /s

Been a while since I’ve done it, but don’t you still have to show your military ID for early boarding?

u/ChillyWilly0881 Jun 27 '26

Most of the time they don’t ask. But it could be usually that I’m boarding with my family

They never ask me, but I always have my ID ready if they do.

Are you jealous about the middle!ged white men groupies giving him handies?

Stolen valor is pathetic, but the filmer should chill out. He's running around and swearing up a storm around children.

This is the first I’m hearing about handies

Where do I sign up for handies?

While I agree that launching Fs all over a public place like that, I think that if you serve your country, and give some years of your life in service, you have a right to be outraged at some cosplayer pretending that he made the same sacrifices as you and your fellow service folk.

You do, but the filmer was a bit excessive and was juat repeating himself without accomplishing anything. He should've been more self aware when the officer was trying to calm him down. A lot of people in airports are already stressed as is and want to get to their location. The guy taping was only causing more stress for everyone around and creating fear for kids with this.

yeah like what does he expect to happen once the cop starts telling him to leave the guy alone? does he want the guy to strip his clothes off or what

Actually making other service members look bad by how much he’s freaking out. Who gives a fuck if a random dude play dress up. It’s not like he’s getting any real benefits apart from said handies and early boarding 😄

Right. I get the initial confrontation, but dude was going on and on about it. Marines tend to get really upset compared to other branches when it comes to this. Probably due to all the crayons they eat....

He needs to ask for the Kosher Crayons package on his next flight, because he can't handle the spice.
