What’s wrong with this picture? Commander?

[Kracken McGraw]

I not that familiar with AR scopes. Is it really mounted backwards?

From mfg website: what ya think?

Our military is dang good they can shoot thru reverse mounted scopes, take selfies and be on social media all at the same time.

That’s really shameful if that’s who we have out there now!

Is that why all the officers are being let go for "lack of confidence in their ability to lead'? Not woke enough?

AI generated?

This is what will kill the country (and many people).

A pic of anyone with 15 seconds of their voice, you can AI them to say whatever it is YOU want them to say.

So in the very near future, you will not be able to 'believe your eyes'.

NOT believing what you see is almost impossible .... an extremely powerful tool for those seeking or in power.

I guess Missouri will have to change the state motto soon.

I am surprised that any on that ship spend any time with small arms training. I am glad to see him doing something for readiness. If I were to think about how this administration would have that guy spend his day, it would be with DEI and trying to find time for half the crew to be in port so they can see the doctor to make progress with their transition while they have tax dollars to do it. If he can find time for himself and the crew to train with small arms more power to him, anything is better than what Biden has planned for him to do.

The guy is training trying to protect his vessel from Somali pirates in their flimsy boats. The Navy probably isn't allowed more firepower under the current administration. Don't want to hurt the enemies feelings....send them money and buy them off.

It was on the Navy's official Twitter/X account, until it was taken down. Follow on post acknowledged the "rifle scope error."

There were actually at least three pictures taken. Two of the three, the eyepiece scope cap (facing forward, incorrectly) was opened, so someone caught his mistake.

Picture has been removed until EMI is completed!

Extra Military Instruction. The Bush Chiefs used this to jack with Marines on "their" base. In my case, NAS Millington Tn in 1968

Zombieland 2, near/far, near/far, near/far. When blondie has the binos backwards.

This, plus by removing a commander, it creates a faster path for DEI candidates to get into a command position.

See anything wrong with this photo of Cmdr. Cameron Yaste, the Commanding Officer of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56)?

The center line of the rifle barrel and the sight appear to be not aligned at all. All posed nonsense immediately dismissed as hollywòd

He didn’t get a lot of eye relief on that backwards scope. lol. Makes you wonder if he had actually looked through a scope before to know that it was wrong.

Such a wonderful Military and yet such a poor leadership. Uggggghhhhh.

If I were a betting man, I'd say that picture was photo shopped. I would think that nobody that makes it that far in the military wouldn't know the scope was backwards. In other words, anyone that has EVER fired a rifle with a scope would instantly know something was wrong. The picture isn't real or it was a set up or whatever. I doubt the man was dumb enough to think the scope was set up correctly. The picture was probably taken down because they knew if was a fake to some degree...
Surprising to see how many on this forum think this is all real and the man shooting is really that dumb.

Is that the guy that sank a Chinese destroyer with an "assault rifle" ?

 

[jackieschmidt]

The people that photo was meant to impress wouldn’t know if the scope was mounted forward, backwards, or sideways.
I would hope the Commander would be embarrassed to be part of a photo scam as this.

If he isn’t, he has no business being in his position.

DEI = Didn’t Earn It….

Plug Navy backwards scope into your favorite search engine. It's real.
